Advertisement Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 Hi steed, Take a look here Name this car..... I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Rona!d Posted June 5, 2012 Share #3522 Posted June 5, 2012 Think of early post war races. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steed Posted June 6, 2012 Share #3523 Posted June 6, 2012 No one seems to be biting any more. Perhaps a larger slice of the image might bring in some more contestants. John W Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas.Pichler Posted June 6, 2012 Share #3524 Posted June 6, 2012 ...found 1,2 Pegaso photos which are lloking similar. Pegaso used to use FIAT engines, the have a "name", they are neither italian nor british, so everything fits perfectly ;-) Ronald, what about a spanish car?

steed Posted June 6, 2012 Share #3525 Posted June 6, 2012 I considered Pegaso, but the clue says that the maker concentrated on racing, which I don't think was the focus at Pegaso. That is why I did not put it forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas.Pichler Posted June 6, 2012 Share #3526 Posted June 6, 2012 Hmm, John,...was just a try to squeeze out Ronald for a little bit more information about nationality.. Have we already had Delage? They have been in the Formula 1 starter list of 1947... Cheers, Andreas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steed Posted June 6, 2012 Share #3527 Posted June 6, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) Andreas I think it fair to say that there is no winner of this round. Congratulations on posting an absolutely legitimate puzzle that our combined five hundred years of knowledge could not get. We raise our glasses to you (mine containing only Diet Coke) and look to you for the next round. Well done! John W Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted June 6, 2012 Share #3528 Posted June 6, 2012 Guys, I was abroad so no access to another crop. Here is a wider crop and maybe we´ll have a lucky winner soon! Welcome, dear visitor!

stuny Posted June 6, 2012 Share #3529 Posted June 6, 2012 My, that is rather crude. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Thompson Posted June 6, 2012 Share #3530 Posted June 6, 2012 I am in agreement with Stuart and, in my opinion, anybody guessing the car from that last cropped image should be awarded the Name That Car Lifetime Achievement Award in perpetuity! If it's a production car, I have no clue - if it isn't, well I still have no clue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steed Posted June 6, 2012 Share #3531 Posted June 6, 2012 Auto Union ??Type C?? land speed record car? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted June 7, 2012 Share #3532 Posted June 7, 2012 Not Auto Union, but "inspired" indeed. This is an early post war car. I´m sure you guys will get it when you see the full picture, including the logo and location where it is on display. Welcome, dear visitor!

stuny Posted June 7, 2012 Share #3533 Posted June 7, 2012 The crude window frame made me think of a tiny cockpit on a land speed record car, and the full wheel skirts shown above increase that feeling, but the rear view mirrors suggest it's use on high speed tracks with other cars competing with it, perhaps at Le Mans. My guess is late 1940s, but that's all I can come up with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted June 7, 2012 Share #3534 Posted June 7, 2012 (edited) Just a "simple" race car, no highspeed world record. Not 1940s - later (although the roots are before 1940). The exciting aluminum body could be exchanged from streamline to a standard formula car. Engine was made by a famous aviation company.

Guest ksmart Posted June 7, 2012 Share #3535 Posted June 7, 2012 Okay, it's at the 'Prototyp' in Hamburg, but I don't know the car :-( Veritas perhaps? L. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas.Pichler Posted June 7, 2012 Share #3536 Posted June 7, 2012 Ronald, what a tricky crop (perspective) - congratulations! At the first glimpse, it looked so easy, but then...I would never have thought that there will be so much more bodywork between the bonnet and the front of the car! Cheers, Andreas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas.Pichler Posted June 7, 2012 Share #3537 Posted June 7, 2012 ksmart, its still on the Prototyp homepage: : : PROTOTYP - PERSONEN. KRAFT. WAGEN. : : --> Special Exhibitions --> All Exhibitions --> Stromlinie --> flip through the picture gallery There is a little yellow "info"-button in the bottom left corner of each picture, there you will get the exact model.

stuny Posted June 7, 2012 Share #3538 Posted June 7, 2012 It's the Veritas Meteor Avus Stromlinie, though Andreas should win this by pointing us exactly in the right direction. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted June 7, 2012 Share #3539 Posted June 7, 2012 (edited) Some of you might remember the shots we published when the M9 was born. I took it with a pre-series model in Hamburg at the prototype museum (ha two prototypes). It´s the special Veritas Meteor "Avus" Formula 2 from 1952. Paul Pietsch one owned it. Has a Heinkel built Veritas engine. Veritas was pretty succesful in racing right after WW2 until 1953. Their street cars were too expensive and later not competetive enough to safe the company from bancrupty (twice). After the first bancrupty Veritas moved to the old Auto Union Nürburgring racing facility where they ended with poor Ford and Opel engines in street cars, after BMW 328 engines were not available anymore and the Veritas Heinkel built race engines were too expensive for street cars. Sad end of a great construction team with poor business heads! So, over to ksmart who named the location and maker of the car!

Andreas.Pichler Posted June 7, 2012 Share #3540 Posted June 7, 2012 (edited) ...Stuart, ksmart gave the hint with Veritas and Prototyp Museum - I was just a helping hand. Ronald: Shall we do as John (Stedd) suggested? No winner this time, so an offer for everybody to bring the net photo? Maybe a "new face" will take the chance? Cheers, Andreas PS: Paul Pietsch died some days ago on March 31 at the age of 100 years. Edited June 7, 2012 by Andreas.Pichler Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
