LANCIA IZM

The Lancia armoured car rapidly became the standard Italian armoured car of WWI and was sufficiently successful to be still in service in the Italian colonies when WWII started. The later version has a single turret with two machine guns. The driver was well protected by sloped armour and there were twin wire-cutting rails running over the front.
