Thanks for the point.  The car was featured in an article about the whole series and was titled "Alvis Straussler" so I missed the date when Alvis joined in the effort.

As we find every day, the Web and even some of the better histories are not always 100% accurate or clear when it comes to autos and trucks.

Perhaps Pal was Christmas Shopping ;) ;).

Bill
Cheers

I have to admit I did not pay much attention to Weiss Manfred military vehicles. The reason for that is simple: the historical research has been tainted by forged documents by some so-called historians in Hungary.

So I know that Miklos Straussler (also known as Nicholas Straussler) built the AC1 in 1932 at the Weiss Manfred factory. He later emigrated to the UK and joined forces with Adler.
So yeah, I missed this one
