Produced in 1935, this austrian wheel-cum-track tankette had the unique arrangement that was able to swing the front wheels upward via gear-driven arms. They then could be removed and put into brackets on the rear of the vehicle. The rear wheels could also be removed by driving the tracks up on blocks. A strange feature was that the front arms acted as a framework for the driver's seat.
About 140 were built, and after the Anschluss, they were designated Sd Kfz 254 by the Wehrmacht.

It could either run on tracks, or if needed, be switched over to road wheels which were carried on the back.
