Googling for the answer to this one brings up Humvee and Hummer.

Could I have an opinion on the most likely answer please.

Many Thanks.

I put Humvee
a military vehicle that combines the features of a jeep with those of a light truck.
[Origin: 1985�1990; from the pronunciation of the initials HMMWV for H(igh)�M(obility) M(ultipurpose) W(heeled) V(ehicle)]

Yesterday there was a discussion about this and it was felt that HUMMER, which used to be a military term is now confined to a civilian SUV that was based on the original military vehicle.

What is in the clue is the military vehicle and HUMVEE fits that description and modern usage.

cf Hummer and Humvee in Wikepedia

As far as I know the HUMMER is the civilian version of the military HUMVEE. Hope this helps.

The Oxford gives Humvee - noun - trademark, chiefly North American, a modern military Jeep. From the initials of high-mobility multi-purpose vehicle.

Thank you all very much. I'll go with Humvee.

I apologise for not checking yesterday's posts - I returned from a week on holiday yesterday and I'm still feeling a bit dozy!
