Early Pegaso Z-Series
Published 15/03/2011 @ 11:16:01, By vilero
Pegaso was the trademark of ENASA from 1946 and was settled in the old Hipano-Suiza factory at Barcelona. First Pegaso's trucks were based on the Hispano-Suiza 66-G

First Pegasos (nicknamed 'Mofletes' >> Chubby Cheeks) See why http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_264038-Pegaso-Z-203.html weren't badged with a specific model name. Despite they were named Pegaso I, Pegaso II, Pegaso Diesel (see Diesel script on last link) but, all of these, to be accurate were Z-202 and Z-203.
The problem: Pegaso was beginning as brand and nobody knew if it would be successful or not. So it's a mess the order of its 1st.vehicles. For instance, it seems Z-203 (gasoline 1947-1949) was first and Z-202 came later (Diesel 1949-1958).
Even in Pegasos's forum there are discussions about it. http://www.camionesclasicos.com/FORO/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=4433

I have listed either Z-202 or Z-203 based in the last order and the year production of the movie but maybe I was wrong doing that. To be more accurate from now on, I have thought to change the Z-202 and Z-203 models to a merged Z-202/203 Series, as we have, for instance, with the Chevrolet C/K-Series (two/four wheel drive).

Listing them as Z-202/203 Series we hit the nail on the head, for sure.

I see I'm actually the only user who works old spanish movies (carchasesfanatic, where are you?) but if, by chance, you work an old movie and you see a 'Mofletes' on it, remember 1947-1958 Pegaso Z-202/203 Series as an accurate way to be safe about its ID.

Thank youuuuuu boys.


EDITED: I've just noticed the this thread is for "Conventions used for labelling some makes/models and discussions about major changes"

Maybe this post would go to 'General'? antp?

Maybe in "useful info for identification"?
Anyway these categories are not well used for what they were made at first. There is a little of everything everywhere on the forum :grin:

Thanks antoine.
I can't move the thread. Move it to the section you think.
