Humber Mark III without the turret ?

Many thanks,

Hi Dave,
I'm not an expert in the wheeled AFVs but AFAIK all Humbers were with solid wheels of split rim type. The wheels of this one reminds me South African Marmon-Herrington.

I'm no armour expert either, but I agree, an M-H.
Here is a nice shot of one without the turret and without the spare tyre mounted.

Hi Bill,
Nice pic but it is M-H Mk.III, I'm afraid. I think on Dave's picture it is Mk.II (note the difference in the mudguards shape):

No problem, Ilian. I know next to nothing about AFVs. I was just trying to establish it was an M-H, not a Humber.

The same here, Bill. I'm almost an ignorant in AFVs but know when to look for :D
The mark apart, I think the wheels tell the story.
Cheers!

once again to the Büssing truck: I think You are right, Sturm 78, that it is a truck with three axes. I think it is the type 801. Here a pic of the successor type 802 (source of the pic: "Das Lastwagen-Album Büssing" by Bernd Regenberg).
Thank you very much for your help, Bert... :wink:

Regards Sturm78

Thanks Bill & ilfil for the M-H identification above.

Another question. Is this a Fiat?

Best regards, Dave

Hi Dave,
I'm also not an expert in cars but I think you're right. This one reminds me Fiat 508C Nuova Ballila 1100 of 1937-39 vintage.

Hi Dave,
The second car behind the 508CM, partially on the picture, could be Fiat 1100 or 1500 (models externally almost similar, both produced 1939-41 with this body and front):
