What was Gaddafi's van/truck?


Update: It's a Precedent Golf Cart with the optional hard cab!



Gaddafi made a brief appearance on TV last night to assure his loyal subjects that he has not absconded to Venezuela.  But what was he riding in?  It looks utilitarian, and Italian.  It sort of looks like a large Piaggio Ape.

    @Viva Chile: Thanks, amigo! Only car guys would think to ask this question.

    I was just in Chile. What area do you live?

    I'm from Santiago. I saw the images of your trip and even made a little comment, jeje. I'm really like your blog. Car + geopolitics, perfect!

    @Viva Chile: That reminds me, I have to finish my South series. I spent Xmas in Santiago and I visited La Moneda.

    Actually, I think it's a Club Car. Here is another place that sells them.
