  1. The normal Citroen Kegresses were rather succesfull but the agricultural version without normal front wheels not. They even did put Kegresse caterpillars on several ww1 Renault tanks.
  2. A Kegresse tractor? Citroen did try something like that too. With not much succes. Or did they transform an normal one?
  3. Looks like some taxi bodies on the last picture.
  4. Bundesarchiv seems to have data also the maintenance info but not digital... https://www.deutsche-digitale-bibliothek.de/item/NNQDXDGBPEWBM5XAK4G4N4OFHIPYKGD7
  5. Numbers from the salavaging companies / dumps like Slough?
  6. Park the castor wheels in a piece of U-iron.
  7. Maybe a dumb idea but laying the springs on the floor and lower the chassis on to them with a jack?
  8. Nice job. Are those "assitance" coil springs original or put on later?
  9. Did see this on ebay a militairy garage and a lot of trucks in a barracks courtyard. Vendor says Belgium of France?
  10. Daimler with a slight steering problem...
  11. It's a typical accessoiry from the 30s-50s. As it still has the label on it, it looks NOS, shame the glass is cracked. 😉 Here two in an Opel fire engine
  12. If i see the extra coil springs i would say a Mannesmann-Mulag.
  13. My friends are restoring two of those landrovers at the moment. They managed even to find a NOS Rolls-Royce engine.
  14. Overhere at the coalmine they made bicycle tires from gas hoses during the war as no new tires were available. They coupled the hoses together with a piece of wood in the hose that they fixed with 2 little bolts throug it sideways. Needles to say they weren't a comfortable ride but then it was better than on bare rims. 😉
  15. Must very rare to have one in the netherlands. Interesting machines. Don't know what happend to it, maybe it dissapeared in the war. All pictures were from 1938/39.
  16. Did find something very similar, long nose, four wheel drive with the same type of axles, headlamps on the cab...an american Walter truck. Only this is a bit older with massive tires. And a more recent one with the same shape of radiator and rounded chassis underside, what do you think of this
  17. The truck was owned by a scrapdealer, so maybe there was something bolted together. Normally the shape of hubs and wheels are good indication for a maker, but i didn't find anything similar yet.
  18. It's a DIFFicult one this ...
  19. Did find two more pictures of the vehicle. It's repainted on the last one. But rather small pictures too.
