39 M Csaba Scout Car*
**
With the failure to modify existing foreign models*
the Weiss Manfred factory successfully developed an*
advanced, high speed reconnaissance armored car. It*
had two driver seats to enable reverse direction*
driving, an engine of 90HP and a maximum speed of*
65Kph. The turret was armed with a 20mm Solothurn*
cannon and a 8mm coaxial MG. At the back of the*
turret a 8mm anti aircraft MG could be mounted*
through the rear hatch.*
*
The Csaba was a successful vehicle with excellent*
off-road capability and good speed. 61 were produced*
in 1939 and a further 40 in 1940. Twenty of these*
were utilized as armored fighting vehicles, and the*
remainder served as command cars with extra radio*
equipment*
