Apparently this thing actually existed, even if only in prototype form!

Italian, apparently. Wouldn't be out of place in one of the loonier VBCW games!

Cool, this is even crazier than Tobsen's :)

Here you go... a version of the Vickers Utility Tractor, armed with a Vickers-Berthier mg.

Excellent. They would make for a great game of dodgems!

Delightfully daft stuff! ;D
And rather sweet, too! ;)

Yep. Italian. Just saw it in the new Osprey "Italian Light Tanks."

It's an early model of the Segway. Alas, as shopping centres/malls weren't a big feature of the interwar era it met with little commercial success. In time, the inventor came to realise that they could be used to transport American tourists, too lazy to walk around the Coliseum. He should have stuck with the tracked variant, that would have made more sense in terms of tackling the Spanish Steps.
