If you know this car I'll add one point to your account.
Sometimes it happens that I'd like to have additional informations about the designer, engine or of some characteristics.
I will let you know on these occasions!

Ferves Ranger?

Allemano · October 29, 2008, 05:19:47 PM

No, not this one!

Allemano · November 10, 2008, 05:04:08 AM

Moved!

Arunas · November 10, 2008, 07:35:37 AM

Fiat? Italian?

Allemano · November 10, 2008, 07:40:05 AM

Neither Fiat nor Italian.

Arunas · November 10, 2008, 08:04:50 AM

French maybe?

Allemano · November 10, 2008, 08:30:57 AM

Not from France, sorry!

DynaMike · November 10, 2008, 02:32:53 PM

Spanish? Siata?

Allemano · November 10, 2008, 02:54:46 PM

Neither!

Anton · November 16, 2008, 08:20:38 PM

Dornier Delta?

Allemano · November 17, 2008, 03:18:07 AM

Was it by chance? You're somehow not completely wrong....

ImpishGrin · November 20, 2008, 05:51:11 PM

Simply Delta, Delta 6 to be more precise (I think that's the model name).

Anton · November 21, 2008, 04:20:46 AM

Right- the Dornier Delta was a butt- ugly citycar, and this was an experimental thing that never really made it into production.

Almost correct! But a little things are still missing.. What was the complete company's name? What was the based car (brand) ?

Anton · November 21, 2008, 07:42:08 PM

If memory serves, the Delta 6 was NSU- based and designed by Delta Design.

Allemano · November 22, 2008, 05:17:45 AM

Good!

Delta Design was a subsidiary of Elastogran GmbH, a supplier of polyurethane foams to the automotive industry.
The Delta 6 was designed as a simple, rugged off-roader, fun vehicle to be also used as an agricultural vehicle in developing countries. Its exterior shape combined elements from the military looks of Jeeps and the baroque styling of buggies (don't blame me I'm just trying to translate a German-language blurb with Google translation).

Delta 6 was presented at the 1971 Hannover Fair. Following the acquisition of Elastogran by BASF the project was stopped.

The car today resides at the Deutsches Automuseum, Langenburg Castle where it is hidden behind a pillar so photography was incredibly difficult.

Here´s a scan of a contemporary photo I´ve bought some days ago:

Allemano · February 22, 2011, 04:36:50 PM

Cool! Do you have other views, too?

grobmotorix · February 22, 2011, 04:42:53 PM

No, sorry. $:-\$

grobmotorix · April 15, 2011, 02:27:10 PM

QuoteNo, sorry. $:-\$

I wouldn´t have thought that I´d find something additional in my life.
But I did have the chance to purchase two further original press photos recently!

So here they are:

pnegyesi · April 15, 2011, 03:23:38 PM

Very cool

Allemano · April 15, 2011, 08:37:24 PM

Great pictures! Thanks a lot!
