SHED any light? That's a bit cruel Kay

Firstly the door on the wrong side and has non Eriba door hinges. Australia, like the UK drive on the left and I believe there used to be a problem with importing leisure vehicles with doors on the wrong side. I've not looked for proof of that but I do remember that this forum did have An Australian couple on board who were in the process of importing a Pan and I'm sure they mentioned the issue.

I think it's a 1959-1961 Eriba Faun rebuild. Square top door suggests very early models of Puck and Faun. One window in the front suggests Faun (although this one has been resized as has the side window.)

On the Faun the non door side has a window which would make it easier to replace with a door opening.

Kay, can I put the question to Christophe Brice on Facebook? It'll mean using your photo.

Australian Design.

Hi Kay. I've have done so but I'm quite confident that it could have started life as a Faun and in those days the door side had to be swapped to conform to Australian rules.

OK, I'm wrong in so far as it's a Puck that has been adapted (ref Christophe Brice). It has been discussed amongst various Eriba groups for a few years. Here are some more pics and some comments.

"................... there is definitely one other here in Au ....

it is owned by a guy who towes it behind his Kombi .... i have spoken to him on the DSK forum a few times on various "kombi matters" .... it is definitely an eriba puck .... i remember him saying that it was bought into Au as some type of "project" by an Aussie company quite a few years ago ... but the project was abandoned .... and the puck sat neglected until he stumbled across it ... he picked it up specifically to use behind his Kombi ... i did email him to say that i would be ineterested in buying it if he ever decided to sell .... but he didn't reply :( ... so i doubt that this one is his ...

i think that he is from either Adelaide or Melb .... but travels and lives in the USA for quite long periods of time ..... next time i see him on line i will ask ...

i think that the pucks are fairly well known in Kombi circles as i believe that they were originally designed to be towed by VW beetles and Kombis ... the Westphalia people (the same people that made the after market Kombi camping interiors in Europe) also made a very small caravan to tow behind a Kombi or beetle ... but i have not heard of a Westphalia here in Au

hope that helps anyone looking for one ... they are pretty rare here in Au i would say - especially if it is a genuine puck ... as far as i know pucks were NEVER made in a RHD version ... so this may be a "ring in"...

maybe you can buy this one .... "
