Advertisement Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 Hi stuny, Take a look here Name this car..... I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
J_Thompson Posted September 4, 2012 Share #4042 Posted September 4, 2012 "Oel" suggests German and the style and use of plastic looks like 1930's. Am I on the right track, Andreas? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. No Posted September 4, 2012 Share #4043 Posted September 4, 2012 concerning the steering wheel I considered it to be british ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas.Pichler Posted September 4, 2012 Share #4044 Posted September 4, 2012 (edited) Stuart: Not an MG (but if thsi car would have been an MG, it would be one of my must-have-MGs!). John: Absolutely on the right track, german and 1930's (the knobs are made out of bakelite, "sort of" plastic) Olaf: Not british, see my comment on Johns post (but, as mentioned before, "don't unterestimate the octagon" because there has happened something...) And here is the last hint from the dashboard, as you can see, with a panel light dimmer (top right, "hell/dunkel"). The contemporary MGs have had a dimmer as well ;-) Cheers, Andreas Welcome, dear visitor!

Andreas.Pichler Posted September 5, 2012 Share #4045 Posted September 5, 2012 ...hm, seems that there are not so many lovers of pre-war german cars involved...maybe a change of perspective will make this riddle more attractive - lets have a look at the steering wheel from outside!

Andreas.Pichler Posted September 5, 2012 Share #4047 Posted September 5, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) Not so bad, from this crop - looks indeed a bit Admiral-ish. But: Nothing from Rüsselsheim. More southbound. Assuming a six cylinder engine is a good idea... Cheers, Andreas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuny Posted September 5, 2012 Share #4051 Posted September 5, 2012 That suggests a 326 coupe, but if I'm right, andreas should really get credit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.j.z Posted September 5, 2012 Share #4052 Posted September 5, 2012 (edited) Thanks! I do not think it is a Coupe because if I am not wrong one can see the folding top through the window This one has a very similar cockpit,only the steering will does not fit entirely: Welcome, dear visitor!

Dr. No Posted September 5, 2012 Share #4053 Posted September 5, 2012 cause of the wipers it must be the cabriolet version. so 327 or 327/28 Cabriolet!? it also could be the EMW version, then probably the 2nd: EMW 327/2? OLAF Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas.Pichler Posted September 5, 2012 Share #4054 Posted September 5, 2012 (edited) All's well that ends well....Andreas (a.j.z.) will get the winners trophy: BMW 327. Location: Meilenwerk, Düsseldorf. Andreas, your turn! Thanks to Olaf for reminding the Eisenacher Motor Works (EMW - in Eisenach BMW started production of automobiles, a license production of Austin Seven), after the 2nd world war they have produced BMWs for a short time in the German Democratic Republic and brought some luxury behind the iron curtain. In 1937, a BMW 327 cost around 7,500 Reichsmark. A steelworker earned around 200 Reichsmark a month (48 hours a week). So this car was worth around 3 years of average payment. And the octagon connection? BMW overtook Rover group around 2004 - MG and all the other marques of the former BMC. And did you know that former BMW chief Bernd Pischetsrieder was a nephew of the famous Alec Issigonis, the creator of the "Mini", which is one of BMWs best sellling cars today? So at the end, it seems that everything makes some sense, maybe... Cheers, Andreas Welcome, dear visitor!

Rona!d Posted September 6, 2012 Share #4056 Posted September 6, 2012 A shame what BMW did to Rover Group. Took the oranges (Mini) and killed the bitter lemons (Rover) Bristol Cars made some nice BMWs as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
