German Vidal Tempo G1200 4x4 Geländewagen - info request
Esteemed forum members;
I am trying to locate some more exacting information, including good 3-view renderings, of the Tempo G1200 field car. This 4x4, with one engine in the front and one engine in the rear, was used by numerous nations in the late 1930's, including Brazil, Estonia, Finland and Mexico.
To date, I have not been able to locate any suitable drawings of this vehicle, which would allow me to make a color plate of same. I would be most thankful for any assistance efforts, which may be rendered on my behalf - even if to point me in the right direction, so I can find the info I need on my own (old magazine issue, specialty associations, etc.).
Thank you kindly in advance for any/all assistance efforts.
Regards;
Arvo L. V.

Thank you kindly, Xavier.
Esteemed Xavier;
Thank you kindly for your information. To date, I have located many general references and photographs re the Vidal Tempo G1200 - but I have not yet been able to find better detailed 3-view renderings. The gentlemen at Mercedes-Benz Archives (who inherited all of the Vidal Company archive materials from Hanomag) referred me to the Museum der Arbeit in Hamburg. The very helpful colleagues there provided me with some wonderful b/w photographs - but stated that they too did not have any 3-view renderings of the G1200 in their holdings.
I find the marketing history of the Tempo G1200 very interesting. Not very popular with the German military, but very popular abroad.
I wonder if older issues of hobby or automotive journals carried articles on the Tempo G1200.
Any chance that a mechanics manual has survived in Mexico, given that the Mexican military also used those vehicles? What sources in Mexico do you recommend I could turn to, to explore this potential reseach avenue.
Again, many thanks Xavier. I am most appreciative of everyone's assistance efforts.

Arvo
