Hi Viktor,
I'm not sure about the small wheel but the basic chassis looks like the Stoewer R200 Kfz. 1:

NB: the vehicle marking on the CMP Ford F15 above is that of the British 2nd armoured division ; it was almost captured on April 8 th 1941 and disbanded on May 10 th of the same year. If it can help for a more precise identification?

And, yes, my first thought was Stoewer too, but the small wheel did not match well and I think БМВ (= BMW) is more appropriate
Hello iffig,
Thanks very much for the info aqnd id on the CMP 15.
Do you have another exemplar of the the Kfz. 1 with the small wheel? That's new to me.
Cheers,
Max

Hello Max!
It is 1 am here and I am going to go to bed,...
But I have a colour profile of a Bulgarian BMW in a Bulgarian book and I shall post it ASAP.
Anyway, I just gave a clue and, it my opinion, you gave the correct answer

Hi iffig,
Thanks for your consideration but if it was a BMW and not a Stoewer my answer was incorrect in any case. It's Viktor's call in the end but personally I'd rather attempt to solve these quizzes than to think up a puzzle to challenge the high level of expertise of our colleagues here. :lol:
Cheers,
Max

Understood, Alan.

Let's wait for the decision!

Here are two profiles from:

They show the differences between the Stoewer and the BMW, with the famous "little wheel" device. there are some pics too, but the device is hidden by proud drivers standing along their vehicle, so I do not post them.

Hello iffig,
Thanks for posting those very informative drawings. I see there is even a little cutout in the door opening to accomodate the wheel. Also the rear end is angled differently. Yes, now I agree that Viktor's photo is a "БМВ" for sure.
Cheers,
Max

I suppose I have to post next question as Maxschnauzer considers that I have given the correct answer.
So here it is: civilian, but the pic caption says it was requisitionned by the Germans.

Hello iffig,
My vote goes to the OM Titano from the late 30's-early 40's.
