Mercedes-Benz Kübelsitzwagen Typ Stuttgart 260

The Mercedes-Benz „Kuebelsitzwagen Typ Stuttgart 260 (W11 III) was ordered by the Reichswehr from 1929 on. The vehicle got its final shape in 1934, designated the W11 III. The gearbox was state of the art at its time: due to revolutionary skewed gears it was unusually quiet in operation. Bodywork was delivered by Daimler-Benz in Sindelfingen, or either Gaubschat (Berlin) or Trutz (Coburg). The vehicle was well appreciated by drivers and maintenance likewise in all theaters due to its reliability. Final production ended in 1935 with 1507 built.
