Maybach HL230?

[landman]

I've had this engine since 2018. It was sold to me as a Maybach HL230. Yet I still have to find a reference picture of it on the net. It does have the configuration of a 230 or even a 234 but is somewhat different. Is this some figment of someone's imagination?

Just curious, is this for a Zeppelin airship or a car. The Maybach cars of the pre war era were really something special, above Mercedes Benz maybe?

It is supposed to be for a Tiger or Panzer tank.

Ok, thanks, interesting. I used the figures from Tamiya's 1/24 Tiger 1 and a few other parts to detail a Rommel's Rod a few years back. A feature on British SKY TV has a series titled Combat Dealers that features the engine from a German tank, that may be a Maybach, you jogged my mind.
Having a few mins to spare check out these YOUTUBE links that feature the HL 230, so it says.
I screen shot the pic from one of those youtube links by the way.
