What's this? Who built it? When? What was its donor? A point is on offer for a complete answer.

Experts?

Looks like a Veritas, but probably isn't?

pnegyesi · August 05, 2010, 08:38:53 AM

It is not a Veritas

DeAutogids · August 05, 2010, 08:43:44 AM

Made in Western Europe?

pnegyesi · August 05, 2010, 09:29:27 AM

just so slightly towards Central Europe

DeAutogids · August 05, 2010, 09:39:23 AM

Interesting. Slightly central Europa would make me thing The GDR

pnegyesi · August 05, 2010, 10:57:00 AM

Those look like Fiat 500 wheels so perhaps it was based on that.
Although Steyr had a Fiat licence post-war, I doubt they had one before as their 50 was in the same part of the market, so I can't say who might have made this.

pnegyesi · August 13, 2010, 08:42:57 AM

Yes, the donor was a pre-war Fiat Topolino

faksta · August 13, 2010, 11:52:38 AM

Aargh!!

I think I know the source (I've finally purchased this little brochure), but I don't have it here with me $:-\$

pnegyesi · August 13, 2010, 12:08:58 PM

You don't know the source

The picture is not from that brochure, but it is featured in that brochure...

faksta · August 16, 2010, 10:05:09 AM

It is featured there as Pracak-Suller Topolino Rennwagen, but it is clearly a nominal name, as with many old racing cars.
Allan has already said it is based on a Topolino. Built by J.Pracak in 1949, body by Oskar Suller.

pnegyesi · August 16, 2010, 10:25:27 AM

Correct. My photo is from Austro-Motor. Based on a Topolino "Testadoro" 570 cc. 400 kg.

faksta · August 16, 2010, 10:57:47 AM

I think it was 570cc, not 5700

grobmotorix · June 07, 2012, 05:16:30 AM

Who knows this car?

1 point for the right basis car (easy) and the correct name I want to hear (not so easy)...
