Škoda built a great many military vehicles and remarkably few four-wheel drives. Of about 1,630 military Superbs made in occupied Bohemia between 1941 and 1943, 1,626 were the rear-wheel-drive Type 952 — 1,600 Kfz 15 personnel carriers, 30 ambulances and 100 Kfz 21 command cabriolets, the sort Guderian and Rommel used — and just five were the all-wheel-drive Type 956.
The 973 Babeta of 1952 is the one purpose-drawn light four-wheel drive Škoda made: 1.5 litres, 49 bhp, four speeds, open or closed, and fewer than fifty built for the Czechoslovak army alone. The 6ST6-L is a six-wheeler whose designation spells out what it is — six-cylinder, medium, towing vehicle, six wheels, light — and the P that would mean all-wheel drive is not in it, so it is a 6×4.
