Title: SOLVED: si_705 - Tempo - Front-Proto - 1933
Post by: sichel on October 21, 2024, 01:03:00 PM
Well, it doesn't look quite finished yet...
What is it going to be? Manufacturer, type designation and year of manufacture are required.

Tempo ?

Post by: sichel on November 12, 2024, 01:58:51 PM
Yes, it is a tempo. Locked for more details and a year.

1936 E400 ?

You are ahead of your time. I don't have an exact type designation.

Do you mean "Standard 3-wheeler delivery van" ?
Title: Re: si_705
Post by: sichel on November 12, 2024, 04:01:05 PM
Strictly speaking, it has no type designation at all...

Hochlader Pritsche ? (I'm not sure what you are looking for)

Hmm, I'm looking at the time between the moment the first idea for a new vehicle is conceived and the moment when the last one rolls off the production line. The puzzle photo was taken somewhere in between.

Test chassis ?
Title: Re: si_705
Post by: sichel on November 13, 2024, 04:38:09 AM
That comes pretty close to the truth. There is a very typical term for something like this...
Btw: Reply #6 is probably misleading. The vehicle does of course have a type designation. But there are several variants, e.g. ‘Miller 1’, ‘Miller 2’ or ‘Miller 3’ and I don't know which ‘Miller’ is pictured.

Mule ?

Post by: sichel on November 13, 2024, 06:44:41 AM
I'm sorry, but what do you mean by Mule?
Title: Re: si_705
Post by: nicanary on November 13, 2024, 07:24:09 AM
In the UK it's a term used for an initial prototype built for testing engine and chassis. A sort of factory test-bed for the intended production components.

Thank you, AP makes you smarter! That's exactly what it is. The only question is when this ‘Mule’ was built and which series it became.

1938 A400 ?
Title: Re: si_705
Post by: sichel on November 13, 2024, 10:41:28 AM
No, older and simpler.

1929 T6 ?
Title: Re: si_705
Post by: sichel on November 13, 2024, 11:53:56 AM
No, later. The T6 had the load area in front of the driver.

1933 Front 6 ?
Title: Re: si_705
Post by: sichel on November 13, 2024, 12:55:46 PM
Yes, it is the prototype of a Tempo Front from 1933. I don't know whether it is a Font 6, Front 7 or Front 9. So that's your point.

The same prototype with a bit more coachwork:
