Thanks Romano! He tells me that it would be a crime to export it to a seller out of country, and deprive the Pakistan fans the rare Stude, but he is trying to pry it from the current owner due to the heresy of putting a japanese diesel in it when the Stude flathead died.

From what I recall of my talk to Romano, the VW's were never built in Pakistan, and never imported as a car dealership item for sale, they only came into the country when Churches brought them in to use as kids school buses. So very very few ever came into the country. When there is no dealerships with parts to use for repairs, they don't last long, and never as long as you'd expect. Once a motor has a major problem, that's it, and the motors get replaced with modern easy to find diesel engines. If I have any of my info wrong, please correct me so no one gets misinformed!

I'd love to know what the above is
I don't know, but it looks pretty unusual and cool!

The short person in white is Maureen Lines, http://www.hindukushconservation.com/maureen_lines.html and she is quite possibly the person most to thank for the fire trucks coming into the light for the first time in over 4 decades. She made the right contacts in the Pakistani government to see that the 2 fire trucks were made available to restorers like Romano!
I believe she concieved the idea to have the fire engines added to the National Heritage Trust, and she asked the Highway patrol to bring in heavy moving equipment to persude the fire engines to roll out of their long hibernation
In the above and below photos you'll notice that this fire truck is painted black, and the other photos are of the red fire truck 
This is how and where it was discovered after being pushed out of a mechanics shop and left for 8 years on the street as it was desired by the VW Club of Pakistan but the mechanics wouldn't sell.... it had been inside their shop for 20 years before that... some people have a hard time letting go! Finally a club member just took charge of the matter and it's now being restored!
