That’s funny. True, but funny...

Another hint: the rear suspension of this armoured car was its defining feature. The two rear wheels where on a sort of seesaw/pivot point to improve off road performance. The suspension was named after its two inventors (on of these being also the owner of the factory).

Another hint:
12 of these were build and used to defend against the German invasion. Afterwards they used a few examples as BeutePanzer.

Nope, the turrets were bought at the Swedish Landsverk, the body work looks a lot like Landsverk armoured car (which where already in service in this country) but the suspension was locally developed and manufactured.

Yes! That is it! :shoutout:

Being Dutch I couldn’t pass up an opportunity to bring some national pride in the quiz. :whistle:
The TRADO system could be retrofitted to any lorry to improve its all terrain capabilities. It wasn’t a big succes mainly because after wwii the markets where flooded with US trucks.
