Pre-96 indeed, but what makes it a 1992? Because of it's a funeral? |

Hearse department can confirm: T4-based funeral vehicles were were built right from the start. I can promise this one was converted by one of the coachbuilders we already know on the site, but from here I can't tell which one. |

@Ani, Stolle with a different front edge of side window, Rappold leaves more of the B- and D-pillars (shorter window), leaving Frickinger or rather Pollmann as a better match? All available as 2920 and 3320 WB, BTW, based on either a Kombi or Kastenwagen |

I'd never look for this when checking my mentions. Doesn't work like this, as most aforementioned coachbuilders offered different versions for the sideglass and additionally would carry out custom orders. Stolle normally used differently shaped glass (also available from Rappold), as you suggested and I've yet to come across a T4 with rectangular panoramic glass by Stolle - very unlikely, but not impossible. Pollmann, Rappold and Welsch all are hot contenders for the style we see above, Frickinger didn't offer panoramic glass for the T4 at all, just long sideglass for an extra charge of DM 8.700,-. The style of the dual-coffin floor, shape and position of the window in the upper section of the divider and the supposed filming location (greater Frankfurt area) all suggest Rappold, but don't fully rule out the others here. Rather than writing a name in the extra info field just to have it filled, I prefer to leave it open. .gif ";)") UPDATE 3 days later: There's a now a Pollmann for sale - clearly different window framing details and coffin floor mechanism! The one above is a Rappold conversion. -- Last edit: 2020-11-17 22:38:30 |
