ANR3340 “La Rubia.” That was what the Spanish people dubbed the 200-C, the Comerical (“Commercial”) variant of the popular Biscuter.

The name meant “blonde girl,” perhaps a reference to the golden tint of the wooden bodywork and/or the vehicle’s delicate, cheerful lines.

It is a testament to its home country’s enduring love of the Biscuter, the vehicle that put post-war Spain on wheels.

The 200-C was intended, much like American station wagons, as a dual-purpose vehicle that could either haul cargo or passengers, depending upon the occasion.

It featured traditional wagon lines, with a standard Biscuter front end clip mounted on a chassis and a drivetrain identical to that of other models, and a timber body with a rear hatch.
