FM Mannerheimīs staff car?
FM Mannerheim was a cavalryman. He wore the red trousers of Cavalry and also the shoulder badge of Nyland (Uusima) Dragoons Regt of which he was Colonel-in-Chief.
He picked his personal staff from that regiment. Here he stands with his ADC and British Gen Kirke outside of Claridges Hotel in London Jan 1936.
So the uniform of the car driver makes me think that this was Mannerheims car.
