A very strange armour car at the Spanish civil War.
The leyend below the pics said: "Various photos of this Armored FA I destroyed in Malaga, with the white cross painted on the turret as the Republicans identified these small vehicles for their little armour cars" Another one

"Echeverria armour car from the 1st series. The armored craft like this were used for transportation of ammunition, food and medicine, or (as here) personnel in areas battered by enemy fire, rather than as a combat vehicle" Main page which much more

The vechile toppled on its side in the first two photos looks to me like a Russian BA series armoured car, does anyone know if the Soviets supplied the Republicans with these vechiles? |

I think it is an FAI armoured car, as it's a 4-wheeler. BA-3 and BA-6 (and BA-10) were 6-wheel and heavier. see here, link note the er… domes, over the front seats they look a good match to me. The 4 wheeled BA-20 doesn't seem to be 'domed'. |
