Barth 25-FP2-G – a light chassis with a long wheelbase: 6.2-litre eight-cylinder, gross weight 5,580 kg, wheelbase 5,900 mm
Barth 25-FP2-G is a light commercial vehicle built in 1989 that, with a gross vehicle weight of 5,580 kg, falls into class N2. The unusually long 5,900 mm wheelbase against an overall length of 7,750 mm shows that almost the entire vehicle length sits between the axles – a body with a long, continuous load area or cabin fits this ratio better than a compact body with wide front and rear overhangs.

The register lists an eight-cylinder engine of 6,211 cm³ for this model. Kerb weight is 5,110 kg, gross vehicle weight 5,580 kg. The vehicle is 7,750 mm long, 2,500 mm wide, with a wheelbase of 5,900 mm.
With a kerb weight of 5,110 kg against a gross vehicle weight of only 5,580 kg, this vehicle has hardly any payload margin left, pointing to a body that is itself already heavy and long, taking up most of the permitted weight before any cargo, tools or equipment are even loaded on board. In class N2, this vehicle requires a category C1 licence.
For a used example, check the chassis and running gear for corrosion and distortion, especially around the long wheelbase, the condition of the clutch and gearbox of the eight-cylinder engine, brake system operation, and the tightness of the respective body; given the small payload margin, it is worth checking the actual payload before buying.
