    Big round clue - Morris Commercial Argosy Amphibious Carrier - UK, 1942.
    Thought I'd seen the damned thing before - was covered in CMV Sept. 2008.

    That's it, Nuffields answer to Vickers 'Neptune', an unwanted diversion. Shared the running gear of the useless Valiant tank.

    Over to you.

    Cushman 39 indeed, but it technically has a name too.

    A pair of Pavesi P4/100s.
    Gun's a bit harder - 75mm 'Canone de 75/46 Modello 34' perhaps?, though as the P4 was licensed to other countries I'm probably jumping the gun looking for an Italian piece; maybe Hungarians in these shots?

    Yes VP it's a Pavesi-Fiat Tractor :D

    maybe Hungarians in these shots?

    Actually they are Bulgarians and gun is probably 88mm Krupp M1937 AA Gun (they had 20 of these). So your turn

    Not Hungarians, Bulgarians.

    Quote from Matev, Kaloyan, "Equipment and Armor in the Bulgarian Army - Trucks, Tractors and Automobiles", "Angela" Publishers, Sofia 2001, p. 104:
    "There are three known supplies of Pavesi machines for the Bulgarian army (more than 100 in total): 1930 - P.C. 26, 1935 - P.C.30 and 1938 - P.C.30A. The last delivery is of 50 tractors P.C.30A transported to Burgas on 13 November 1938. Pavesi is a universal tractor and is used for towing 105mm, 150mm guns and howitzers, 88mm AD guns as well as projectors (searchlights) and electro-generators for air defense"

    I think the tractors on the photoes are Pavesi-Fiat P.4-100 (P.C. 30A).

    That is the only picture I have seen of it.
    Anyway, this one shouldn't tax anybody's Googling skills..

    Lenin's 1922 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost

    [​IMG]

    Lenin's 1922 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost. Interesting photo received from Stanislav Kiriletz (Germany) trying to firm up the history of "Lenin's Rolls Royce" currently in Gorki Leninskie Museum. Chassis plate 79 YG. Two existing scenarios: 1/. Built 1916 for Tzar Nicolaus II, rebuild in Petrograd 1919 by Poutiloff works as half-track "Kegresse"; 2/. Car came to Russia in 1920 and had half-tracks added. We can advise that RREC have the build date as 1922, client "All Russian Co-Operative Society". Lenin died 1924, so did not have it long.

    Good man Sol, didn't know it had survived!
    Is it wrong of me to find that immensely pleasing to the eye? :unsure:

    Over to you.
