43-M Lehel
In 1943 the development and construction of the 43-M Lehel was commenced. The vehicle was based on the Swedish licensed chassis L-62. The first prototype was constructed on the original Swedish L-62 chassis supplied to Hungary as a license example. The Bola company removed the turret and welded on a simple open top.

Version S, built to transport the wounded, 1 sitting, 4 on stretchers and 3 medical personnel.
Only 4 vehicles were built.
