Hello Sturm,
I believe that is a Humber Light Reconnaissance Car, possibly a Mk.11, but does not have a Boys anti-tank rifle in the front and the Bren has been removed from the turret.
Cheers,
Kerry..

Hi Sturm and Kerry,
I will slightly correct the answer: in the photo there is a model Mk III, 4x4. So, as Mk II had an incomplete 4x2 drive.

Hello all.

I got what looks like a modified komsomolets.

I found it here: https://popgun.ru/viewtopic.php?f=149&t ... 9&start=60

I think it's a 1928 Opel converted to auxilary firetruck. The edges of the licence plate seem dark. That could be a post-war plate.

Hi Sturm,
It's a 3 tonner, so I'd say an M 1

Hi Sturm 78, hi Max,

You are right, Max. It is a 3 tonner, not the type M 1, but the type M 30. It is a vehicle of the Reichsbahn (license plate). Here a pic of such a truck ordered by the Reichsbahn (1933) out of the book "Das Lastwagen-Album Magirus" by Bernd Regenberg.

Best regards

Bert

Hi Bert & Sturm,
Thanks for the correction. I also considered the M 30 but the exemplar on Holger's site had front wings that extended down behind the bumper, How did you make the determination in the pic posted by Sturm?
Cheers,
Max
