Did they build passenger cars too?

[Wendax]

Yes, this one is based on a car chassis.

Just to clarify, as I know there has been confusion about the term "car" before: this company built passenger cars (as a contrary to trucks, buses, vans, tractors, etc.) just in the 1920s, but other kind of motorized vehicles over a longer period.

Faun 6/30 Type K3 circa 1926 from Nuremberg?

Faun 6/30 Type K3 circa 1926 from Nuremberg?

It is a Faun Typ K3, not exactly a 6/30 PS, but a 6/.. PS. The year is almost correct, not built in Nuremberg though.

Locked for you to complete the answer.

HMMMM.  As far as I am aware Faun made only two car models, the K2 and the K3, with two different engines, the 6/24 PS and the 6/30 PS.  I was under the impression that the 6/24 was only available in the K2, with the K3 (beginning in 1925) having the 6/30.  Perhaps some early K3s got carry over smaller engines.  I will try: Faun 6/24 PS Type K3 circa 1925 from Ansbach.

[Wendax]

I agree with you that only 6/24 and 6/30 PS engines are mentioned in literature, even Werner Oswald just mentions those. But I took the picture from an original Faun brochure, and it shows a different horsepower rating (a little help: it is in between the two mentioned ones). The car was built in Ansbach, the year is still slightly off.

[4popoid]

I can find only the two aforementioned horsepower ratings, so I will have to make a slightly educated guess based on a calculation and you very generous hint.  I understand the 6/24 had a displacement of 1405 cc, while the 6/30 had a displacement of 1550 cc.  Based strictly on the proportioning of the displacements, and depending on whether one takes the 24 as correct, or the 30 (since generally rounding was involved) I get just under, or just over 27 hp.

Therefore, since Faun automobile production ended in 1927 or 1928, I'll try: Faun 6/27 PS Type K3 circa 1927 from Ansbach.

[Wendax]

1927 is correct, and to put an end to this, it is a 6/28 PS. 
I'll add the brochure pictures tonight.
