wlaidlaw Posted February 19, 2013 Share #4581 Posted February 19, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) It´s an offroad car, but not 4x4. Herzog Conté amphibious car? Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 Hi wlaidlaw, Take a look here Name this car..... I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Rona!d Posted February 19, 2013 Share #4582 Posted February 19, 2013 Herzog Conté amphibious car? Wilson No, but you come closer. This car was ment to be able to swim (to me unknown if it ever proofed to do so - I think NOT because first tests were "soso"). It should also be usable to be thrown out of planes, which means there was a military idea behind it. The "marketing guys" were dreaming to sell it as a beach car as well, but failed (only one beach car made). So which car is it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rona!d Posted February 21, 2013 Share #4586 Posted February 21, 2013 Gerd, interesting car, but no RMA Amphi Ranger. Another good hint: This car has front wheel drive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ksmart Posted February 21, 2013 Share #4588 Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) Auch dran gedacht, aber Heckmotor und ganz andere Radläufe L. Oh, sorry: Thought about that, but Porsche's rear engine and back drive, completely different wheel-arches.

Rona!d Posted February 22, 2013 Share #4590 Posted February 22, 2013 - german car - front wheel drive only - military - should be able to swim (but never proofed I think) - later than Porsche Jagdwagen - no VW, no Porsche, no RMA, no Herzog Conte, no DKW, no Mercedes AND .... it´s from a mass producer!

wlaidlaw Posted February 22, 2013 Share #4591 Posted February 22, 2013 Have not found it but while searching, came across this amazing 1948 3 wheel aeroportable jeep called a Davis Divan, which used a Lycoming 4cyl engine.

a.j.z Posted February 22, 2013 Share #4593 Posted February 22, 2013 Something fro the former DDR then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UliWer Posted February 22, 2013 Share #4594 Posted February 22, 2013 Yes of course! Thought the whole time, Ronald was kidding. Trabant 601 (NVA-Version "Kübel" - dont know wether it had another official name). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ksmart Posted February 22, 2013 Share #4595 Posted February 22, 2013 But the Trabant-Kuebel has completely diverse wheel-arches, at least the versions I found. Perhaps found the wrong versions... L. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted February 22, 2013 Share #4596 Posted February 22, 2013 So here we are in the right country, now find the right car. It´s not a Trabant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ksmart Posted February 22, 2013 Share #4597 Posted February 22, 2013 Did they ever produce anything else than Trabant, Wartburg (okay, it must be some Wartburg) and the wonderful Melkus? Lenn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UliWer Posted February 22, 2013 Share #4598 Posted February 22, 2013 Yes, I think the Wartburg 400 is right: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted February 23, 2013 Share #4599 Posted February 23, 2013 (edited) Finally you found it. The video says it all, so no need for me to post a photo of that "trailer queen" (the owner always pulls this on the shown trailer, at some meetings he never put the car down on the ground It´s the same car. The developer told me, that they hoped to sell this a civil beach car but got no permission because for different reasons. Project had been stopped after some cars made. Army bought the cheaper Trabant Kübel. So who is the winner? ksmart found Wartburg and UliWer the model. I´ll leave it you.

UliWer Posted February 23, 2013 Share #4600 Posted February 23, 2013 ... and a.j.z gave the essential clue to D.D.R... I think, it's Lenn's go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
