Was it made for the German division of UPS (just as UPS commissions and produces some of its its own purpose-built delivery vehicles in the USA)?
My source doesn't tell, but it certainly has the UPS looks (except for the colour).
Fritsche & Brause/RKB?
No
Currently active coachbuilder?
No
up to the highest level
Was the coachbuilder known for other commercial vehicles ?
It is the only one I know from this company, but it seems the company was closely related to another company, of which a similar vehicle was puzzled here before.
Built between 1985 and 1995 ?
I don't have a year, but I'd say yes.

An addition: the makers of the puzzle vehicle and those of the AluCar were economically connected for a while.

Die Firma Spier Fahrzeugbau entwickelte im Auftrag und in Zusammrnarbeit mit UPS das Zustellfahrzeug P36.
Hergestellt wurde es jedoch nicht nur bei der Firma Spier, auch die Fa. Kaessbohrer, und die Fa. Flensburger Fahrzeugbau fertigten das gleiche Fahrzeug.

Bürstner
Interesting answer, but this one is not a Bürstner.
Is the company known as a camper van manufacturer ?
Yes, but for a while they also built special bodies.
Bürstner GmbH, Kehl, is still active as camper van manufacurer. In 1994 they where also listet as producer of parcel-delivery vans.
Neubrandenburger Fahrzeugwerke GmbH
No
Diehl?
Is there a relation between Bürstner and the company that built the puzzle vehicle ?
FFT Fahrzeugbau und Fahrzeugtechnik
No
Ichendorfer Fahrzeug- und Instandsetzungs GmbH

Ichendorfer Fahrzeug- und Instandsetzungs GmbH
Yes, that is certainly worth a point. The other point of the usual two Black Hole points will be awarded for finding its name.
Thank you for the point...
For the model... have no clue... Maybe in an old Diehl catalog... (found the guy out of the Diehl history as they used to own FFG)
BP 40 - 4136_MB 711D AluCar gr. Paketwagen IFG

An interesting picture, but not the name I have.
I've found a similar truck tagged as UPS P60 XL Mercedes Benz 407 basis (711D) from Vienna, Austria
Looks right, but I still need the coachbuilder and the model name though.
Not from Austria.
Could it be Grumman P-600?
No, have a look at the former posts. It was already established that it was built by Ichendorfer Fahrzeug- und Instandsetzungs GmbH. Now I only need the model name.
Is the model, a name or a number?
A name and a letter-number combination
