Sorry Bill,
this is not a Borgward B 3000 S. It is a Borgward type 3t Benzin/Diesel G.W.
Some photos for comparison can be found on my site:

Well Pilgrims...........Somedays it just does not pay to try to make ID decisions at 0500 hours. Now two days in a row.
As Holger knows, on another Forum I have, as well as others, fought the battle of Hansa/Lloyd-Borgward vehicle identification for a few years now.
In fact, I have a pretty good thread going on AHF entitled "Bloody Borgwards".
In fact, I had the right photo but the Russian site I grabbed it from mis-identified the truck as well and I just typed in his ID.
Thank you as always, Holger, for your expertise. I should know to go to your site whenever I am not sure and I also need to stop visiting sites at 0400 to 0500 hours and wait until I have had at least three cups of coffee before I attempt to ID something that I am not really an expert on.
Keep the questions coming Alexander. I promise to be extra careful in the future and you do present very interesting photos.

Hi Alexander:
Regarding the Borgward, Holger is totally correct. I had the right photo but forgot to pay attention to the correct model designation.
Regarding the last two, the rather muddied photo shows a Car, Medium 4X4 Kfz 15. Manufactured by Horch and Opel in a number of variants.
This photo shows one of the early versions with the stub mounted spare wheels. I gather that idea didn't work well and later versions had the spare mounted inboard the body which was also wider.
The second vehicle is a Car, Medium 4X2 probably a Kfz. 12 and is an Adler 3Gd. As far as I know, not a whole lot of these were made.
Below are two lphotos of the two types of KFZ.15 that show a little better what they looked like.

Hi there,
Looking at the one with the marking 267...
A very tough one I think, but as the sidecar is on the opposite side to a standard German vehicle, I would think this is an early British model.
Looking at the Old Timer website, the closest I can get is a AJS D model from 1919, which shows a very similar engine/carb area and the front guard style and headlight...

Maybe someone knows more on this...
Cheers

The engine has the magneto behind the rear cylinder which makes me think of a large J.A.P. engine and the forks are Bramptons which put me in mind of Sunbeams. A photo is proving elusive but I think these are the 1917 model 8HP Sunbeams supplied to the Imperial Forces. The first of the photos seems to still have the machine gun sidecar originally fitted.
The engines were originally MAGs but supplies dried up due to the war in Europe.

Hejsan tabula:
Your photos are as follows:
The kubel is a Wander 23S and the truck is an early Opel Blitz from 1935 or earlier.
I have attached a couple of pics and sorry they are not up to my standard but my main PC is in the shop for repairs and that has my photo files of all the good stuff on it's hard drive. So, I googled these.
