the guy that own this, hanomag said this car was made as a prototype for the german army in ww2. he found this car in england. dont no how long ago but got it sent over here. he said its very hard to find any image of this car from ww2.
he also owns a ww2 vw scwimmhwagon. that a army officer brought back after the war. thats waht he said i hope to get a chance to see it. thanks for looking mark.

this guy collects VW cars vans. i think i made his day when i told him i seen a old vw van sitting in a shed on its own in field. not long ago. his eyes lit up, so i showed him where to go on a map. i hope it works out to be good.. he said this hanomag has a kubelwagen frame too. it was made for this car.

Interesting - I found some discussion about the vehicle here. Some suggestion that it is not authentic.

It looks a lot like a beetle! The engine is a VW for sure.
I dont know for war time vehicles, but post war frames fit's for beetle's and 181 type's (the post war Kübel).

I even had a converted beetle, into a RR.
It was a kit, sold in the late '70, that gave the car a very different aspect!
All it took was the changing of both hoods and bumpers , and the front lamps! A black and silver paint job, and a red felt interior made it very complete.
I 'll post pic's.... if I ever get to find them again.
