It’s definitely a mixed collection of different origin vehicles. I think that the line of truck in the back ground is composed of Italian Fiat 626 BL (on the right side) and Alfa Romeo 800 RE (on the left).
Anyway these lorries were in a few numbers as they are not presented in the 1944 Album of the Motomechanization Directorate (Directia Motomecanizarii) as one of the army main vehicles.

Is it a Laffly Or is it Czech ?
I have not heard about French trucks in Romanian use so far, so I would be very interested. Was it used as Command vehicle in the R-35 Regiment ?

Thanks and Cheers, Luer


Hello my friends!

I think I can say for sure it is a Laffly, but the S 15 R (reconnaissance version), and not the S 15 T (tractor) nor the V 15.

I think the photo is eloquent: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laffly_S15

The V 15 can be seen here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laffly_V15

Dragos suggested that the car might have been assembled at Romanian Ford factory in Bucharest. Any additional info about that?
