Delicious things are transported here. I'll tell you what they are when I solve the puzzle.
But we need to know who made the base, what type it was and when and by whom the body was made.
Up to Experts.
Is this another Krupp Schaperjahn truck?
No.
Deutz?
No.
Magirus?
No.
Henschel?
Yes
HS 140 bodied by Kässbohrer?
No
Harmening?
Neither HS 140 nor Harmening
Gaubschat body?
HS 190?
Yes, it is a HS 190. Locked for you to name the coachbuilder.
Is this the HS 190 that was originally a bus? I'm finding only the one Kässbohrer bus and the three ESSO articulated tankers.
There were the three Esso tractor units (HS 190 S) and eight chassis (HS 190). These were fitted with bus bodies and at least one truck body. I know of four different body manufacturers.
FAKA?
No
Drauz?
Not Drauz!
I found a mention on a very credible site of:
"a vehicle with a box body for Brandt-Zwieback was body-built by Kässbohrer on an HS 190 N chassis". (Sorry, machine translation.)
Is that this one?
Yes, it's a truck for "Brandt-Zwieback". But the body is not from Kässbohrer, although it looks very similar to the Kässbohrer bus.
Lampferhoff?
No.
E.H. von Lienen? The only four I have found are Kässbohrer, FAKA, Lamperhoff, and Lienen.
Sorry, but there is one more.
Could it be the relatively near-to-Brandt-in-Hagen company of Ludewig in Essen, who later built bus bodies on Henschel chassis? (There are a few more coachbuilders in this region, am I getting close?)
It's not Ludewig, but you're close. North Rhine-Westphalia is the right region.
Fahrzeuge Recklinghausen?
No,go east for about 40 kilometres.
Bönen? Or Hamm?
Neither nor.
Kamen or Bergkamen?
Approx. 10 kilometres to the north
Werne?
Yes, then I'll lock so you can look for the coachbuilder.
Spermann?
Yes, you will get the point later, I go to bed.
Sleep well! That was hard!
Hey marmer, here is your point! You've really earned it! :applause:
There are not many sources that depict this particular version. There were only eleven examples in total: eight bus chassis (on one of which the "Brandt truck" was built) and three tractor units. The two coupled, transversely mounted 95 hp engines could probably not be reliably synchronised. I attach a picture with a view of the left engine.
Is it the same as the BÜcherbus from Gladbeck ?
Thank you for this picture, I didn't know him yet. But that is Kässbohrer and not Spermann. The shape is very similar to the Kässbhrer Bimot (I'll add a picture), but it lacks the maintenance flaps on the sides and there's one too many stars on the bonnet...My guess is Mercedes O/OP between 3500 and 6600. Judging by the tyre size, more likely 5000 or 6600, but that's a bit like reading in a crystal ball.
