The I.Z. was built by Ansaldo on the Lancia I.Z. light truck chassis. The original version, of which 20 were built in 1915, was armed with three 6.5mm machine guns, two being mounted in a large roof turret, and the third being monted in a smaller turret on top of the main turret. The Maxim MGs were replaced by 8mm St. Etienne MGs eventually and the third MG was placed in the rear of the hull with the topmost turret elimated. A feature of this armoured car was the wire cutting rails located on the front of the vehicle. At the outbreak of WW2, the Lancia Ansaldo Italy 1939 1ZM could still be found in Italian East Africa and Libya until the end of 1940.
