I have seen a couple of the original VW Industrial engines as fire pump units, complete with magneto ignition. Comes a a very small trailer.
I also think I vaguely remember seeing an original VW Generator setup, the one thing I have never seen in the flesh are the VW Air compressors.
And yes, I know some where based on the Porsche 356 engine.
