SOLVED: si_705 - Tempo - Front-Proto - 1933
« on: October 21, 2024, 01:03:00 PM »
Well, it doesn't look quite finished yet...
What is it going to be? Manufacturer, type designation and year of manufacture are required.

A Henschel in rushing up the hill, wheras in a Mercedes wind is rushing through the doors. c/o norberthanke

I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

Yes, it is a tempo. Locked for more details and a year.

You are ahead of your time. I don't have an exact type designation.

Strictly speaking, it has no type designation at all...

Hmm, I'm looking at the time between the moment the first idea for a new vehicle is conceived and the moment when the last one rolls off the production line. The puzzle photo was taken somewhere in between.

That comes pretty close to the truth. There is a very typical term for something like this...
Btw: Reply #6 is probably misleading. The vehicle does of course have a type designation. But there are several variants, e.g. ‘Miller 1’, ‘Miller 2’ or ‘Miller 3’ and I don't know which ‘Miller’ is pictured.

In the UK it's a term used for an initial prototype built for testing engine and chassis. A sort of factory test-bed for the intended production components.

Thank you, AP makes you smarter! That's exactly what it is. The only question is when this ‘Mule’ was built and which series it became.

No, later. The T6 had the load area in front of the driver.

Yes, it is the prototype of a Tempo Front from 1933. I don't know whether it is a Font 6, Front 7 or Front 9. So that's your point.
