Recorded originFrance
ClassAgricultural, utility and specialist four-wheel-drive vehicle
Signature Cournil with a welded, approximately 2 mm folded-steel body and steeply sloping bonnet for visibility on mountain tracks. Dana live axles, leaf springs and PTO capability remained central. A differential-lock or limited-slip option followed in 1964–65. One second-hand report describes six six-cylinder Indenor examples, but no factory type name or ledger supports a separate model row. Family production stopped after the 1970 failure and Alain Cournil resumed limited garage-built output in 1971; the same JA2 lineage continued until the 1977 licence sale.

How this is measured → This record contains useful sourced evidence, but it does not yet meet the reference-ready standard. Still needed: attributed imagery. Fields we cannot source stay empty rather than guessed.
Research notes
Part of the family-reported 1,087 vehicles for 1960–1977. Sources conflict between 53 and about 80 Alain Cournil vehicles for 1971–1977; no JA2 engine/body split survives.
