I thought it might well be a streamlined Adler?  Though I'm maybe not sure the bumpers are right and there are no overriders... nor rear wheel spats which I would have thought it would have.

Hmm...maybe there were factory variations?

The absence of 'boot lid' shut lines, the external spare tire compartment hinges, the split rear bumper  & and the downright agricultural bumper brackets make me think this may a late 1930s Alfa-Romeo.

No ALFA.

Well done, Nigel! I´d have had problems to show you more crops without clearly showing the cars origin.

So this is an ADLER type 10 convertible (nickname "Autobahn") of the earlier series. Hence no rear fender skirts etc.

Made from 1937 until 1940. Designer came from Steyer/Austria where he developed the similar looking but much smaller "Steyr Baby".

Basically there were three different models, the convertible made by Karmann, the four door limousine made at Ambi Budd with a huge sliding sun roof and the type 10 2.5 ltr. Sport by Gläser which was a two door mix of a coupe and limousine (still 4+ seats) with a hotter engine and also a sportier touch designwise. There was also a change of minor things to a scond series which also brought the fender skirts among other things like the trunk door, smaller sun roof etc. A drag coefficient of 0,36 wasn‘t bad for the time.

My grandfather bought an Adler type 10 "Autobahn" convertible in the early post war times. The seller didn´t want any money. He wanted to go to grandfathers hotel storage with his family and grab as much they could carry with four persons. Fine food, wines, champagne etc. as payment. Not the worst deal for both sides. Grandfather helped to carry the "payment" with the car to the next railway station. I think the seller sold most of his goods during the train ride or at the next big station in a larger city or kept it for exchange with other goods at home.

5.295 cars made, about 50 survivors are known, three of them in my neighborhood.

Your turn Nigel!

Correct Rona!d. I was trying to make a rather abstract crop…

Was a rather abstract crop, Nigel. And the quality doesn´t let the new Range Rover shine as LR would like to see it 😉  

Especially the left rear side window end looks a bit simple made 😉
