Turkish Hotchkiss Partly-Armored Car M1908
Inspired in the C.G.V. (Auto-Mitrailleuse Charron - Charron Partly-Armored Car - of 1902), although better armored, their configuration continued deprotecting the driver and assistant, except when shooting fighting back. It was performed on the chassis of a passenger car Hotchkiss Type U 40-HP. Five copies were made (*) to meet a request from the Turkish Government of April 15, 1908. They were armed with Hotchkiss Machine Guns of 7.65-mm (Turkish Army standard gauge) installed on a pedestal in the center of the rear shielded receptacle, and provided with a protective shield for the shooter or shooters.
