Advertisement Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 Hi Guest Holy Moly, Take a look here Name this car..... I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Guest Holy Moly Posted November 25, 2011 Share #2502 Posted November 25, 2011 OK no response...... It'a 3-wheeler named VELOREX. Powered by a JAWA motorcycle engine and using the cycle wheels it was a low budget 'car' from the fifties. Here are more: velorex dreirad - Google-Suche who is next? Ronald? I know that he knew the car, he's the specialist for oldtimers..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted November 25, 2011 Share #2503 Posted November 25, 2011 (edited) Bernd, you can give it free to anybody who wants next or you could post a new car. That Verlorex 3-wheeler had two nicknames (translated from Czeck into english): Batman (General) Montgomerys coat (because of the color and flexible skin) It was made from 1950 to 1971, mainly for handicaped people, lot´s of soldiers who only had prewar motorcycle driving licences (we had something like that in Germany too) later switched into a 4-wheeler (which I think was a new car, but only made one or two years if I recall right. Used Jawa 350 motorcycle engine). In the early 90´s I considered buying a Velorex 3-wheeler for fun, but there was this nice Wartburg 313 Sport convertible I also hunted Edited November 25, 2011 by Rona|d Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elansprint72 Posted November 25, 2011 Author Share #2504 Posted November 25, 2011 I got here a bit late but why did I want to say Hanomag? Was that also a 3 wheel car? Stu- the Gordon Keeble was a Gentleman's express, big US V8, bespoke chassis, glass-fibre body, very expensive and only 103 laid down. How do I know this? There was a 500 copy book written about it, I have copy #350. It has been a long-time ambition to own one of these; have come close twice but it looks like I need a lottery win now... or will have to part with some others from the fleet. What a great thread- I wonder who thought of it? :rolleyes: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Thompson Posted November 25, 2011 Share #2505 Posted November 25, 2011 The Gordon Keeble is notable for being Giorgetto Giugiaro's first design for Bertone. Shortly thereafter, he did the Alfa Giulia Sprint GT and you can see a similarity between the two in their side views. It would indeed be a historic collectable. You have good taste, Pete, along with an excellent idea for this popular thread. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted November 26, 2011 Share #2506 Posted November 26, 2011 I got here a bit late but why did I want to say Hanomag? Was that also a 3 wheel car? Pete, not that tiny Hanomag 2/10 hp "Kommissbrot" which was a 4-wheeler and made in the 1920´s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuny Posted November 27, 2011 Share #2509 Posted November 27, 2011 Perhaps partly due to usage, this appears to be crudely made. Perhaps it's a kit car so some sort, but I could not quess which. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Holy Moly Posted November 27, 2011 Share #2510 Posted November 27, 2011 mmhhh, yes, no nameplate I've shot. There was a 'club' of these cars visiting the 'Every sunday meeting' for oldtimers: Let's ask for just one of those cars, except the Volvo....... Welcome, dear visitor!

Rona!d Posted November 27, 2011 Share #2513 Posted November 27, 2011 Bernd, the car shown in #2498 is a 1980´s Sbarro GT 40 Replica based on the De Tomaso Panthera. It is not a strictly replica of GT40, it has some own design elements so more a kind of interpretation, like often with Sbarro designs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuny Posted November 30, 2011 Share #2520 Posted November 30, 2011 Ah, I found one. Before posting it I googled the name of the organization painted on the door to make sure you could not get the answer that way, but this should be pretty easy. I know Rona|d will get it right away.
