I dont know shit about this thing, and cant find anything on it either. German and before WWII if I had to guess. The Google translation of the one caption shown says: “caterpillars and tankers allow a user oberquerren of morasses , swamps and mountainous areas” So, no help there.
Also, on a personal note, when I loudly yell the phrase “ Sumpfen und gebirgigen gegenden”, I sound just like Hitler and the Dog doesn’t like it much.

Überqueren would translate as crossing .
The hyphen after “Raupen” means that the full word is “raupenwagen” which Google tells me is “crawler cart”
I think “tankwagen” is probably similar to “tank chassis”
So, relying on Google and the tiny amount of German I know, I think it is saying “caterpillar tracks and a tank chassis allow the crossing of morasses, swamps and mountainous areas.” But don’t quote me on that.
Pretty cool car, though.

Using my basic (four years in high school) german knowledge, it says something along the lines of “Tank tracks allow the traverse of bogs, swamps, and mountainous areas.”

Anyone know what kind of car it is?
Or from when?

It almost looks like its based on a Cunningham, but that does’t make much sense if its from Germany. I wonder if the whole thing was completely custom?

How about a Vauxhall? This is a Vauxhall 14/40 Princeton, 1925?

Reverse GIS turned up this:
Vickers-Wolseley Wheel Track Tank (page is Russian, have fun translating it)
Wolseley Motors
, founded in 1901 in England as a partnership between
Vickers
and
Herbert Austin
. Lots of early automotive history and crossed paths and intertwined engineering projects. It’s an interesting read. Your car was probably some sort of prototype. There appears to have been a lot of experimentation between the wars on on tracked and half tracked cars.

I’m going to guess WW1 era, and no later than 1930.
