Indeed, not a VW but more likely a 1967-77 Harburger Transporter (de), i.e. a 1967-75 Hanomag/Hanomag-Henschel F20 / F25 / F30 / F35 or a Mercedes-Benz L206 D, L207, L306 D and L307.![[Image: 320px-Mercedes_306D_van_pic3.JPG]](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mercedes_306D_van_pic3.JPG "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d8/Mercedes_306D_van_pic3.JPG/320px-Mercedes_306D_van_pic3.JPG") (Mercedes-Benz L306 D) As MB vans, most are identified as Mercedes-Benz [L70] in the IMCDb, without model name. Were Hanomag models sold in UK? -- Last edit: 2015-10-20 10:48:59 |

This is 1972+ by the position of mirrors. I did here few comparisons in the last comment: /vehicle_23600-Hanomag-Henschel-F35-L70-1973.html |

Yes, a "Kußmaul" ("kiss puss"). But a Camper, not a Van.  If it's a UK vehicle, was there a British Camper-coachbuilder? It's not a Westfalia-conversion (if I'm not wrong and there were more Westfalia-version) as this example:https://imageshack.com/i/p7LLPBLzj |

The only reference I can find for one of these campers being sold in UK is Glass's listing (1985 monthly price guide) for the Bariban Ultra Autobahn 4-berth based on M-B L206D (1974-77, 2197cc) and L207D (1978-80ish, 2404cc). I don't remember the the name, but it googles a few hits for examples in UK. We never had anything based on Hanomag/Hanomag-Henschel, which were not sold here in ordinary van form either. Doesn't look as if there's a main door on this visible side, so I guess this is RHD UK example rather than foreign visitor. |

Seems like a good match, the hightop is quite distinctive: http://www.classic-campers.co.uk/id55.html ![[Image: mercedes-benz-l206d-ultra-autobahn-campervan-sales-brochure.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/7478/mercedes-benz-l206d-ultra-autobahn-campervan-sales-brochure.jpg) The hightop window may have been an option or a later feature. Bariban were a UK company from Devon: http://thecampervana.com/my-love-affair-with-elvis-palomino/ -- Last edit: 2020-10-08 00:03:20 |
