Coming from the woods and moving up
LLYOD

Not a Tempo
German?
Ja
Gutbrod Atlas 800?
Yes, it is. Locked for you to find the coachbuilder.
maybe Binz?
The Gutbrod Atlas usually has a cab built by Binz, but this one has not.
Open for all.
Firma Vischer, Stuttgart
Yes, that is correct.
When the production of the Gutbrod Atlas started, the platform truck got a cab built by Vischer, while the van had a Binz body. After a few months, the platform truck got its cab from Binz also, easily identifiable by the three bars at the front and the one-piece windshield. Until the discovery of the puzzle car last year, only one surviving Vischer bodied Atlas was known. It is pictured below, together with a period Vischer pic and a Binz bodied Atlas.
I have learnt much on this topic
The survived Vischer bodied Atlas is parked about 800m from my home. Will check out the state of restoration soon.
I love the fact that it was used as a service car for Büssing. Cool puzzle

I just came across a sales ad for the puzzle car. The restoration has progressed, but isn't finished:
wow!
This is real craftmanship!
They really make a brilliant job, obviously.
I really admire the passion of some guys who spent loads of money to preserve an almost unique vehicle.
And they will never ever get the spent sum back.
However they can be sure that there are many admirers around who can estimate their work - me included.

Shame on me I didn't find the time to visit that exciting project in my neighbourhood..
But I see that sale with mixed emotions. Does it mean it finds a new owner before restoration has completed?
A nice contemporary picture of the Gutbrod Atlas with Vischer cab:
The Gutbrod restoration is finished now. The Atlas is for sale at 65,000 €!
What a great little lorry!
Considering how many of them have survided it's still a bargain. You know current prices for DKW Schnelllaster?

Yes, just two Gutbrod Atlas with Vischer cab are known. Not many more with Binz bodies either.
DKW Schnellaster have gone through the roof as well. Some of them make VW T1 look cheap. ;D
fantastic!
Pure craftmanship!
But I think a door handle should be included at this price.
Another picture from when they were new:
