Can anyone put a definite name to this type of armoured car (photos taken from CNT archive showing vehicles atthe ready in Barcelona). It is without doubt a common vehicle in the SCW. Of note is the large rear end which may indicate troop carrying capability--indeed, several photos exist of this vehicle. The most important is on page 52 of 'Armas y Petrechos de la Guerra Civil Espanola' by Armero and Gonzalez, showing a Republican parade in which you see 10 such vehicles. E-mail editor Rolfe Hedges if you have information.
