Lucky find - I have been looking for one of these
forever.
I don't know where you're currently located (you mention Europe in your
mail) but just in case, there appears to be a similar one on eBay right
now, located in California:

These were great machines for their time and were the
standard desktop machine at Ford Motor Company in
Europe in the early to mid-80's. We had them networked
to Wang VS's for e-mail, file and print serving but
the most common app in use at that time would have
been Wang Word Processing. IIRC Wang made an emulation
board that made this look like a normal PC clone. Once
Wang started delivering 286's and 386's these became
known as Wang Classics to distinguish them from their
more mainstream PC clone siblings.
