I try to sum it up.. Is it right, that you found this car and you think it's related to a certain builder, but you're not sure about it?
Have been other similar vehicles of this builder posted here before?

[Wendax]

Yes, I found this picture online without further description, but with evidence that it is a East German VW T1 lookalike. Furtheron I read a classis car magazine article where the company I am looking for was named as builder of several small series of these vehicles. Your task is to find this company. There is a rather high probability that the pictured microbus was built by them, but it is not for sure.
