There is still a lot missing.
Who manufactured this semi-finished vehicle, what was it called and when was that?
Ein Henschel zieht am Berg und ein Mercedes
an den Türen. (and an attempt of a translation):
A Henschel in rushing up the hill, wheras in a Mercedes wind is rushing through the doors. c/o norberthanke

Yes. Details tomorrow.
It was driven by multi-stage pulleys, with a little imagination comparable with the "DAF-Variomatic". Vmax = 50 km/h.
One more point for 'fromwien'.
