Well, the dots are definitely joined up now. thanks Citroman - that is very interesting and useful information. Regards, Mark.

Thank you Richard, your sleuth skills are to be applauded. I love it when all the dots join up - so, it would seem that this was indeed used in Normandy, captured and pressed into post war civilian service. Thanks again, regards, Mark.

Thank you Citroman, I will start some research based on that. All I know for sure is that this wS built in Italy. like many Italian Army vehicles, there is a good chance it was commandeered by the Germans, and entirely possible it found its way to France, as it has original ‘Normandy 3 colour Camo’ paint.

Thanks to everyone on this thread that helped with opinions and information. any more contributions of information would be greatly appreciated. It is four wheel steer!

Good post, very insightful, sums up nicely the dilemma of making an offer on something with an indeterminate value. I don't have many vehicles in my collection, I don't 'deal' in vehicles - I build houses, and if I wanted to make money then I would just build another house and sell it - more profit in it. I very rarely buy a vehicle, and even more rarely sell one. I never seek to buy a vehicle and only considered this because it was offered to me - I certainly wasn't looking for one.
