Topic: SOLVED: Djetset 977 - Otto Lauinger VW Kublewagen-based eigenbau

[Djetset]

Austria?

Initially I thought it was Austrian, but in fact you were correct earlier KWGibbs as it is from The Netherlands, so sorry for my mistake as I had far too much going on at the time to double-check my information source.

This Eigenbau was built by Otto Lauinger (a German guy living in the Netherlands) based on a VW Kübelwagen chassis. This is how it looked after an intensive rebuild in the late 1950s. I planned to post the original car as a puzzle, but will postpone this.

Well done Wendax, a perfect answer that told me more than I originally knew about the car. A well-deserved point to you.
