I've always regarded the Schwimmwagen as the original buggy concept, but I think that thing pre-dates it

I notice the rims but 4 stud. Iam not so clued up on the models in the very early years. This is interesting

Still think, that looking at the wheels, that there invention is a British thing.
Has an Air cooled, but not so sure it is a VW aircooled, think it is more an BMW or Russian air cooled.
Come to think of it, it may be Russian in total, as they copied the English Wheel design.
