Wolseley-Vickers “Wheel-Cum-Track” Car (1926)

Wolseley-Vickers “Wheel-Cum-Track” Car (1926) - rare Historical Photos

Equipped with both tracks and normal wheels, the vehicle could be driven like a traditional car or could lower the tracks to tackle more difficult terrain like a tank.

The Wolseley-Vickers vehicle, introduced in 1926, was a hybrid car and tractor designed for the British Army. In reality, much of the vehicle was based on a normal Wolseley car. What made it special was its ability to switch between normal wheels and tracks depending on the surface it was moving on.
