T2 Feuerwehr/Polizei

Post by rolandrat » Sun Aug 23, 2009 1:48 pm

This '76 kombi belongs to my mate Stephan and is currently suffering from a side impact caused by a lorry trailer whilst parking. Furthermore there is a serious hail damage (even the windscreen was broken). :cry:

Once a Polizei van, then it became a Feuerwehr crew carrier.

Now converted to a basic campervan using WESTFALIA parts.

In the meantime the side impact has been repaired. :D

There was no need to replace the rust free driver's door, a NOS panel could be sourced.

Excellent. I like the fact that this has been 2 emergency vehicles!! Not many manage that! Maybe he should paint it half green half red...

Another one with the same historical background.

Feuerwehr Lahr in the Black Forest used to have this '76 crew carrier with a 2 litre engine and a WESTFALIA interior.

Originally a Bereitschaftspolizei (BePo) vehicle also stationed in Lahr; the BePo is a special detachment i.e. riot police/task force which assists the regular police in case of bigger events. A fire truck since 1993.

Exceptional is the 'mushroom' pop top. Another BePo accessory is the convoy flag holder on front bumper.

That's a great combo and an ideal base for a camper!
