some about the original
The Sdkfz 222 was built between 1935 and 1943 and modified five times
It was manufactured, among others, at Weserhütte Bad Oeynhausen
About the manufactured quantities there are different information. But an indication of a relatively high number of pieces could be that in March 1945, more than 350 Sdkfz 222 were present (according to Lexikon der Wehrmacht).
Even today, some copies are still available. The best known is probably the vehicle in the former "Littlefield" collection.
