Did not find any clear markings on the doors of the vehicle. Two red lines. Any guesses/suggestions? " I I" Found also this on the firewall: "1728 S" Original French markings - dimensional data I think? Sigve

Hello To Kjettingmannen, It seems like the ammo compartment is symmetric. So the mirror image doesn't make any confusion. However we do not have any good drawings of it - thankful for any help! wille, Yes, your picture shows a P107 - slightly modified. But it seems like missing the same parts that our one? Do you know if there are more parts than your picture shows? Cees, Your picture is of a Somua. This is a bigger vehicle than the p107, but wherry similar... mvh Sigve

Hi! A little update on the project! Here you can clearly See the foot well for the back seat. A good indication that this have been an artillery version. Still missing good detail pictures to make a good repro of the ammo compartment Sigve

Rolf,
The most complete one is an artillery tractor. The other one is an pioneer version i am told, but this can be a German conversion or a conversion done by a Norwegian farmer?
Had a look at the tags today (frame and body). It says: CV:13 No:110147 Type: P107 Serie: BU
Can anyone tell me what "serie BU" means? Sigve

Hello list! At Rogaland Krigshistoriske Museum (RKM - www.rkm.no.com ), we have a restoration project, starting maybe next year of a Unic P107. Some information is already collected and "most" bits and pieces for the vehicle are there. Have sent some inquires around to French museums - but all response we got was being redirected. Any other restorers of French vehicles here that can give us any hints or guide us to resources of French ww2 equipment? All help appreciated! Regards Sigve Ps: Will have some pictures soon to give you an idea of what our object looks like!
