Tell me what this is and a point may be yours!
Easy for Experts...
Fiat/Man/Saviem "Europa-Jeep" military vehicle prototype ?
No, not that one.
BMW Glas Europa Jeep Schwimwagen :o
Getting closer, but not the name I have for this one.
I don't know; the names I could find are: Glas/BMW Europa-Jeep (Rene Pohl-amphicars.com), Glas/BMW-Man (multiboard.com), Glas Schwimmwagen (glasclub.de) and "LKW 0,5 t gl schwimm (national)" Glas (bwb.de). Is it any good?
No, none of those.
Steyr-Puch?
No.
:popcorn:
It's not a Laverda is it?
Afraid not!
Is it VW-powered?
Sorry, but I'm not at home so currently not 100% sure what the mechanical base is, but suspect that it's not VW.
If it's not then is it NSU?
Now at home, but still not 100% certain as to what the engine is. Suspect it's something bigger than an NSU motor though.
Any ideas as to what this might be called though?

OK, I take the hint, so moving on...
That's the amphibuos vehicle by MBB (Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm) called Euro-Jeep from 1970/72, equipped with a 4 cyl. 95 HP BMW engine.
The whole project started life in the early 1960s as a Glas/MAN development.
I could see that you were itching to get this one.
Well done, as it is indeed the MBB Schwimmwagen. You wouldn't know what engine it used would you, as I don't!
I've edited my last post. ;)

Ah, danke schon :)
The link was broken.
It featured full plastic foam bodywork that enabled it to swim:
I believe it lead to the ATW Chico, which I assume is somewhere featured as a puzzle
This vehicle featured a 2 liter 95HP BMW engine.
I´ve found a nice 1971 action shot:
