Say hello to an old mystery of mine... OK, if you want a name attached to it: This is a Hautausauto (= hearse in Finland, another term would be "ruumisauto") by Finnish converter Spendex. See a small picture below:![[Image: spendexmbw1241992.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/3946/spendexmbw1241992.jpg) So far, so good, job done! It's just... Spendex provided the equipment and converted various cars for the funeral industry. They also marketed Binz vehicles, later going by the name Mobile-Stars - I don't think they built their own bodies. As I was never able to find out who bodied these VF124 hearses for Spendex (or if they actually did it themselves), we're going to make it just a Spendex for now. |

Ich will aber keine Hautausauto haben, die ist mir zu blechern und schwer. |

Well done, @Gamer!  And I don't mean one of the ^ cheapest puns you delivered so far  , but the fact it made me look at the pics again - and suddenly I saw something I wasn't intently trying to find in this moment:![[Image: image114441.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/3946/image114441.jpg) That's a later Pollmann body, like it first appeared at VF210 o'clock. Pollmann Karosserie of Bremen, who were the largest manufacturer of funeral vehicles in Europe back then and delivered many hearses for the Scandinavian market and also were official distributors for Nilsson coaches in Germany. The car in the main pic (and the second one of a different unit I provided) may be some kind of a prototype body, meant for later cars, but already in a solid state of development - just without any homologation for the German market so far. What if they already (maybe exclusively?) built them in small numbers for Spendex Finland instead?  At least that's much more of a theory for themystery-coachbuilder than I had for the last approx. 15 years. |
