90 exemplars of the Mercedes-Benz type 290 I Kübelwagen were made from 1934 to 1935. The front mudguards without skirts were typical for this model. The illustrated vehicle was photographed in 1936.
For sure, this Mercedes-Benz type 290 I Kübelwagen was already in service for a longer time. The photo was most probably made on the souther sector of the eastern front in 1942/43.
