Greek mystery

This was in the background of a slide which I was scanning for a different hobby.
I don't know what it is.

Looks like an old Mercedes, Roderick-L311/L312/L321-something like that I would say.-Hamish Petrie

Roderick,

I'm fairly certain it's a Lancia Esatau V11: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lancia_Esatau_V.11_(trolleybus) . Here's are some full pics.





and many years later :'(

Thanks for putting in the effort.
The original was prepared for a thread 'Trams passing...Greek tavernas' for the group TramsDownUnder.
This was a trolleybus, not a tram. I had hoped that there was a taverna in that street, but it was a BP petrol station. In the foreground is a section of tram track, closed in 1977.
I should have cropped completely to the truck (which has been identified in this thread as an early Mercedes), but there was also a chance of identifying the motorcycle (Vespa?) and the female pedestrian, who could well have relatives in Australia.
The original is at:

It was identified as a Fiat in

However, that may be wrong, and I will post the link to your post, and let the debate continue.

I like the one down by the sea that must a new AC smash the windows . Dave

Roderick,

I'm fairly certain it's a Lancia - the Fiats had bodies by Viberti which looked quite different (the pic is of a Milan bus).

Cheers,
