Opel Kadett B Caravan — picture must be a development car, probably hybrid electric prototype powered by Stirling engine (Stir-Lec)?

Can I join in?
It's a test mule built jointly by VW and Porsche – part of the EA266 prototype programme (see pic), with four-cylinder motor laid on its side under the rear seat. The Kadett wagon body was used to disguise the car when out on public roads. Oh, and a certain Ferdinand Piech was Porsche's driving force behind the project... |

Oh, and a certain Ferdinand Piech was Porsche's driving force behind the project... ^^^^^ This. When Wonki presents a riddle, there has to be a Piech angle (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

My brother had one back in the '70s. The car sat for 4 months as he waited for a set of front brake rotors. No internet back then; no distribution channel either in the USA.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) see you at the pub if you ever come down here. - as part of that - 914 replacement would have had one of these engines in it. further bonus. heinrich klie had a big hand in the initial first version design. lots of 914 elements in the details of the original protos. EDIT - additional info. not just an inline 4 laid flat. VW engine range was inline 3 and inline 4 laid flat. piech liked odd cylinder engines? in parallel he was doing the engine range for porsche transition to water cooling. derived from these VW engines. 914 replacement would have probably got the 110hp 4. the water cooling radiator is part of the engine packaging. looks pretty sketchy if you ask me. def would have overheated in australian conditions!
