The vehicle was classified same as Steyr 1500A and Horch Typ. The basic type of body became Kfz.70, designed for transporting of 7 person including driver. 

All in all there were about 4900 L1500A produced. These vehicles were extremely durable and reliable and soon became one of the favoured if rarer German softskin vehicles.

Mercedes-Benz L 1500A with Kfz. 70 were frequently as heavy staff cars.  L1500A personnel cars were used by all German arms of service in the Soviet-German front, in North Africa, Italy, and France up to the end of war.

The Daimler-Benz company designed the L1500A with an all-wheel-drive chassis of 1,5 t capacity to be ready for the end of 1941. Most of these chassis received open bodies for transportation of 7 men (Kfz.70). We have have had these images of the test kit with it's simply amazing detail unpainted..
