Re: Axis Non-Armored Vehicles quiz
Hi Bert,
That's a very good guess, but I don't think so. Disregard that fancy "custom rim" on the rearmost wheel.Take another look at the other wheel and think a bit lighter than the Krupp.

Hi Max,
As far as I can see it could be a Büssing-NAG 31.
Best regards

Re: Axis Non-Armored Vehicles quiz
Hi Bert,
Well, we both see the same thing. Excellent job of detective work with very few clues to go on!
Please give us the next question.
P.S. Any idea where that odd rear wheel came from?

Hi Max,
thanks a lot. Excuse me,please, for the delay of the next question. I was on holiday in Italy. Who can ID this ambulance?

Re: Axis Non-Armored Vehicles quiz
Hi Bert,
I hope you had an enjoyable sojourn in Italy. To me the ambulance appears to be based on the Matford V8-F 91 A of 1939. I don't know if this variant had its own type number or not.

Hi Max,
excellent! That´s exactly a Matford type F 91 A. And I thought it is not so easy to ID this ambulance. B.t.w. I had a wonderful sojourn on the coast of Amalfi.
Now it´s Your turn to go on.
Best regards
Bert

Re: Axis Non-Armored Vehicles quiz
Clue: This small manufacturer had to rely on a larger competitor for its engines and body parts.

Hello Max,
I think it may be a La Licorne Rivoli, either 11 or 14cv, of 1937?
Kerry.

Re: Axis Non-Armored Vehicles quiz
Hi Kerry,
You are correct! I am unsure of the engine size but it is indeed a Rivoli of that era. Note the resemblance to the Citroen below who supplied the bodies with minor changes in trim: Nice work and please proceed.

Re: Axis Non-Armored Vehicles quiz
Hi Max,
Thank you. One interesting change to the Citroen bodywork was the bonnet louvres, which were much simpler on the Licorne.
Here is a new one, and, yes, it was a real, road-going, car. Soldiers throughout the ages have loved playing with novelties, just like all boys.
Good hunting,
Kerry.

Re: Axis Non-Armored Vehicles quiz
Hi Kerry,
That was a good one! 175 cc of pure POWER! I believe the Model VB 60, (which did not require a driver's permit according to this ad) was a mere 100 cc.

Thanks Kerry,
Actually I learned that ID from the great Bill Murray several years ago, all credit belongs to him.

Yes, Bill was truly a great man and a real advocate for our hobby. He is now, and will always be, missed.
