Bombardier is now mainly associated with leisure snowmobiles, but started its business by building more functional vehicles for people who had to go across Quebec areas of remote or no roads...doctors, priests and the like.

M. Bombardier , the founder, came up with a sturdy vehicle in the late 30s called the B-7. Van-like in construction it used a Ford flathead V8. Several hundred were built though the later and larger B12 was in the thousands.

Very few B7s survive. I saw this one in a museum in Quebec City the other day. I had never heard of them.

That's all well and good, but what time can it do round the Nurburgring? And does it have Apple CarPlay?

Fastest thing on the Ring on December-try a Ferrari on the same day! No AppleTalk bit comes with full set of semaphore flags.
