Something different
Here is a extremely galant semi-convertible, supplied with WL-3444435 plates. Please name brand, model, engine type, number of cylinders and the well-known German user of the car.
Best regards

Re: The official AHF Panzers & other vehicles quiz thread
Definitely not easy Kees:
First guess, Lancia Astura with body by Pinin Farina.
Second guess, a Fiat 2800 of the same era.
Last guess, and Alfa Romeo 2300, again same era.
For sure, in my opinion, a coach built Italian vehicle and I have no idea about the passenger.

Hi Bill
According to my informer who based his knowledge on Simon Moore's "The immortable 2.9" (latest edition) its an unique car based on the Alfa Romeo 8c 2900 with Two! V12 engines fitted. It was used by Fieldmarshall von Rundstedt in the years 1941-1943. When in 1943 one of the carbs caught fire, the engines were sent back to Italy and never returned. The body remained in Austtria and was demolished. The front seats are still owned by the last owner; he has put them in his office. One engine disappeared while the other one is on show in the Alfa Museum.
Best regards

Re: The official AHF Panzers & other vehicles quiz thread
Thank you Kees.
It is rather funny, I was doing more research this morning on your photos and had eliminated both Lancia and Fiat, although one can find many very similar vehicles in those two stables, and had settled on Alfa Romeo.
Five minutes before your post, I had just joined the US Alfa Romeo Club "Alfa Forum" to do further research on the 2900 vehicle. Might have even come up with the answer in an hour or two.
Since I was not correct, perhaps you should post another Quiz photo.
BTW, I will post your photo and history of this car on the Alfa Forum to see if more information can be obtained.
They seem to be a very knowledgable group.

Hi Bert:
It is a Tatra 111 from 1944.
Same photo appears in the book "Tatra Nakladni Automobily 1898-1972".
You are usually a tough guy when it comes to ID questions, so I will give it back to you again to test us harder.

Hi Kees:
Just for fun, the words in the Tatra book are "pro pieprovu koni"
Does that have to do with horses???

Re: The official AHF Panzers & other vehicles quiz thread
Well, I looked it up in a CZ-GB dictionary and "koni" means "'horses"
But Bill, its a nice try, it keeps my memory sharp. I have to admit that I was afraid that the dictionary would say something else.
Best regards

Hi Bill, hi Kees,
You are right, congratulations. I took the pic out of the booklet "Samochody Wehrmachtu vol. IV" by Janusz Ledwoch. The text to the pic: A Tatra T 111 truck for horse transport.
Cheers

Hello, nice photo of a Einheitsdiesel! !
Re: The official AHF Panzers & other vehicles quiz thread
Hi Einheitsdiesel,
You are right, of course. I assume You are an expert for Einheitsdiesel-trucks because of Your name in this forum.
The source of the pic with the Einheits-Diesel: "Samochody Wehrmachtu vol. IV" by Janusz Ledwoch.
So it´s Your turn. Please, go on!
Regards
Bert
