ATW Chico ! An articulated 4x4, produced between 1981 and 1985. Auto-Montau-Werke was based in Frankfurt, but my source said that the production was made in Ireland, with a 1.6 2-cylinder ( :o) diesel from Deutz !
The original project was from Messerschmitt, and 130-150 vehicles were built.

It followed the Croco/VMB project, and others (RTV, Coot...) in the small family of articulated 4x4...  ;D

ATW Chico would be a repost, but you've touched on what it actually is in your answer. You're nearly there, so I'll lock it for 24hs to come up with the correct answer.

yes this is the MBB prototype for the Chico from before production was moved to Ireland. Bad luck to our Dutch friend ;)

I was not around, as Internet Explorer 9 does not allow me to open my webmail.
I of course new it was MBB. But it has a name...
