Abstract is: The Pansarbil m/39 (or Lynx) and Pansarbil m/40 were Swedish 4x4 armoured cars of World War II. AB Landsverk began developing the Pansarbil m/39 in 1937 for the Danish Army. The Lynx had a low slung body with well sloped, but thin, armour. The 140 hp Scania-Vabis petrol engine was in the middle on the left side. The crew consisted of six troops; a forward driver and hull machine gunner, two similar positions in the rear hull, and two crew in the revolving turret which mounted a 20mm Madsen cannon and a coaxial light machine gun. Three vehicles were delivered to Denmark in April 1938, but a further batch of fifteen were still awaiting delivery to Copenhagen when World War II broke out in 1939. These were then confiscated by the Swedes who employed them as the Pansarbil m/39 and ordered a further thirty units for the Swedish Army. As Landsverk lacked the capacity, the new batch was manufactured by Volvo, powered by a Volvo engine, and designated Pansarbil m/40. All Swedish cars were fitted with a Bofors 20 mm akan m/40 automatic cannon instead of the Madsen. In 1956, 13 of the m/39s were sold to the Dominican Republic.
