Not sure I understand the context of the question/relevance to Alvis. Anyway, home grown WWI subsidy trucks used steel wheels - I'd need to double check if that was actually part of the specification - whereas most imported trucks did not or were inconsistent.

I think you mean to link to this one https://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/205189024

Ah yes! I was imagining something on a very different scale.

An intriguing early trailer for sale. Probably not military but interesting nevertheless. Why don't they show a picture of the name/data plate!? Postage: Royal Mail 1st class @ £3.70 - lol https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/143649422263?ul_noapp=true

Here's one for sale should they take your fancy: http://www.elalamein.eu/f60l-ambulance

It's either a F60L or a C60L - 'F' and 'C' for Ford and Chevrolet respectively, '60' for 60cwt (3 ton) and 'L' for long chassis. The C15A was a Chevrolet 15 cwt, with 'A' for four wheel drive (as opposed to C15 for the two wheel drive version).

Of course it would help if I could type! I should have said Alvis-Straussler Ltd. Some info here: https://someinterestingfacts.net/straussler-armored-car-ac1-ac2-and-ac3/

Can't see it! The number doesn't help - it is part of a series allocated to the Middle East.
-
Well, the first armoured cars by Alvis-Staussler Ltd were built in 1937.

Some pictures, for interest, from the IWM official collection .

Hi Tony, welcome along. I see the Kegresse website lists you having two vehicles? (Ref. GB5 & GB6) http://kegresse.dk/documents.html
-
Interesting, with the 'H' serial number and the front brackets for the winching spades, presumably another converted artillery tractor? (There's one on Milweb at the moment:https://milweb.net/webvert/a3886/95991 )

Looking more carefully at these photographs - the position of the star on the side would suggest there were at least two of these loudspeaker vans.
-
There are several pictures of these K2/Y loudspeaker vans (possibly all the same vehicle!). Other vehicles were used, such as White scout cars. Pictures below from IWM official collection.

Some possibly useful wheels: https://milweb.net/classifieds/view_large.php?ad=98603&cat=8

Neither, it's a WOT3.

Here's a better picture of the Minx for you. A 18382

It's clearer expanding the online images, rather than these low res images - it's Royal Navy Voluntary Transport. The car in the last three is a Vauxhall, of course.
-
Some IWM pictures. The caption for the first two say they are drivers from the Women's Naval Car Service - but I can't read the shoulder flash! A 21081 A 21082 A 23634 A 23634 A 23636
