The Skoda PA-II (Panzerwagen II) was developed by Skoda, based on the feedback on their PA-I. The design featured rounded armor plate - a rare sight at the time, which earned it the nickname Tortoise with the troops.An up-armed prototype, the PA-II dělový (cannon) was made, armed with a 75 mm gun.Production started in 1923, with 12 units ordered. It was never accepted into official service, in stead, Vienna's police force purchased three vehicles in 1927, and the remaining nince vehicles were purchased by the Czech police force in 1937. The Germans took over the PA-IIs when they annexed Czechoslovakia in 1939, and used them as armored radio vehicles.

Skoda PA-II Zelva (another designation: OA vz.23) was a Czechoslovak armored car from the interwar period. The first prototypes of the vehicle were created in 1923, and serial production continued in the years 1924-1927, ending with the production of probably 12 vehicles. The car was powered by a single Skoda engine with a power of 70 HP. The armament was 4 machine guns Maxim wz. 08 cal. 7.92 mm.

The roots of the Skoda PA-II car go back to 1923, when the Skoda company developed the first versions of this vehicle (designation: PA-I). However, it was only after a number of corrections that the Czechoslovak army accepted the new vehicle and ordered a small series of 12 vehicles. After their purchase and thorough testing, further purchases were withdrawn in favor of another armored car - OA vz. 27. It turned out that the Skoda PA-II is very difficult to use, has a complicated and emergency transmission system, a very tight compartment for the crew and poor visibility from the inside of the car. She was also very expensive. The Skoda PA-II vehicles were not officially adopted by the Czechoslovak army, but took part in numerous maneuvers and parades. In 1927, probably three cars were handed over to the Austrian police, and in 1937 the remaining vehicles were handed over to the Czechoslovak police.
