Hi Dave:

Based on the round wheel arches, I would say it is a Morris Quad. A few other details match as well.

I could be way off, but I am thinking this is a 1938/9 Mercedes 230.
Below are photos of both a 2 dr and 4 dr cabriolet for reference.
Actually, the 2 door was sold new in Norway so there is a precedent.
Edit: Sorry, the 4 door is a 320 but shows some good ID characteristics.

Thanks, Uncle...........

As happens too often nowadays, I was too quick and forgot the 290 series. To me, Mercedes are like Bloody Borgwards, I can hardly tell them apart.

My apologies to Alvis for my incorrect answer to his first post, I will try to go a bit slower next time.

Hi Dave,
Well, in my absence Bill already gave you the correct answer (it is model C8 and the body is early Mk.II if you care about such details) but I want to thank you for the good picture. I like most the jerrycan rack above the door, apparently a German upgrade.
Cheers!

You're always welcome, Dave.
Thanks again for the second picture, great one! Looks like the FATs are freshly captured and still with the original camo. I have to admit I've never seen before a 25pdr in Caunter scheme!
Cheers!

Hi Dave:

I assume you are asking about the station wagon.
It is a Canadian Ford C11ADF, 1941. Seems to be a beute vehicle.

Photo below.

Hi Bill, thanks for the ID. Do you know what the semi-circular brackets are for?

hi all,

Does anyone know what this NAAFI / EFI mobile canteen behind Rommel is?

Possibly the same as the second photo?

Cheers, Dave
