Can anyone help identify the vehicle below please? It was photographed in Sweden, but looks like it may be of German origin.

Many thanks

David

Hi,

it's a guess but I think it's a Landsverk product, may be a variant on the Landsverk artillery tractor 132 or 131.

One of the rare Lanz A7V tracked lorries. Production got only going by the end of September 1918, thus, there can only have been a handful manufactured before the war ended.
This is basically the cargo version of the Lanz A7V tractor, which was shorter and had no cargo bay behind the driver's post.

Thank you very much for your help with this - it does indeed seem to be a Lanz!

Best wishes

I remember another thread on this vehicle somewhere, with some excellent pics. It was sold at Aldershot, along with  a Durwagen. Something like that. I can't find it at the mo.

Does anyone have any more details on the vehicle?
