No, sorry.

It features no stock Beetle for sure, but it is not this exotic.

Radial engine?

Post by: grobmotorix on September 27, 2012, 04:02:39 PM
No, but the engine is the clue.

It has been designed for this type of Beetle (maybe there were some more of this?) for a very special use...

It is indeed a Diesel, but its not been developed for VW, and it has served a very specific job for a company.

No. Only because it was designed like this it was useable for this company...

Used in the salt mines of K & S (Kali und Salz).

Post by: grobmotorix on October 07, 2012, 05:33:07 PM
Maybe yes.

I only have the company´s name that has built the engine and a place.
And it has indeed been used in a salt mine in Germany.

So, tell me who´s built the engine and the point is yours.

I know I've seen it before, but I just can't find it. So I will have a guess: Farymann?

Not from a car, but I´m quite sure this type of engine has been used in other moving vehicles, too.

Post by: grobmotorix on October 10, 2012, 05:40:08 PM
I give you the point.

My source said it has been built with a MWM diesel engine for a Kalisalzbergwerk (and there was the place Garbsen in the text).
Unfortunately I didn´t have scanned the text, too
