.. but it is rear-engined?

targhediferro · « **Reply #30 on:** September 18, 2013, 06:17:50 PM »

Till now I got for sure that it is a coachbuilted Typ2...now Allemano's questions make me doubt about this convinction. Is it a Volkswagen?

Wendax · « **Reply #31 on:** September 19, 2013, 02:34:00 AM »

It is based on a rear-engined Volkswagen, but it is not a Typ 2.

why would someone build a Transporter based on a VW? or am I missing something here?

Wendax · « **Reply #35 on:** September 19, 2013, 05:02:59 AM »

That's exactly what happened. Think about it and you may find out why this was done. That may help you a little bit in order to focus on the solution.

was this built on a crashed Beetle?

Wendax · « **Reply #37 on:** September 19, 2013, 05:24:32 AM »

I think the VW base was rather not a Beetle.

an East German private attempt to build a Transporter replica?

Wendax · « **Reply #41 on:** September 19, 2013, 06:23:55 AM »

Yes, by a privately owned workshop

targhediferro · « **Reply #42 on:** September 19, 2013, 06:46:15 AM »

The only hint I found is with a certain Herr Grundmann, who worked at Framo before the war.

Wendax · « **Reply #43 on:** September 19, 2013, 06:59:48 AM »

It is not him. I think the solution will be hard to find online. Although the company still exists, they just mention these cars just in a single sentence without a picture. I found the company's name in a magazine article.

was this built in the late 1950s?

targhediferro · « **Reply #45 on:** September 19, 2013, 07:57:24 AM »

Was he from Zwickau?

Wendax · « **Reply #46 on:** September 19, 2013, 08:08:13 AM »

It is from the 1950s, but I don't have an exact date. It was not built in Zwickau.
