All I have is a ''name'' and the country where it was designed, and that it had some benefits at that time.
for one point.

Yes it is.

It is the Wolo single seater, built from 1922 to 1923 by the Wolo-Fahrzeugwerk in Berlin. It was designed by the engineer Mr. Woick. It was advertised a small, cheap and light, but powerful vehicle, for which you didn't need a driver's licence, no licence plates, no medical test and no need to pay taxes. It featured a single-cylinder Bekamo engine of 129 cc displacement and 3.5 hp. It measured 2800 x 970 x 950 mm, weighed 70 kg and was supposed to reach 45-50 km/h. It was available as a roadster or the pictured coupe.

That's amazing!!. that is indeed the story behind it. May I ask where you found the information?

Wendax · March 05, 2011, 10:24:11 AM

There is a very good book only about German threewheelers

Amsterdam · March 05, 2011, 10:35:49 AM

Well done Wendax.

A friend of mine must have the same book then. I send me the picture with this info by E-mail.

Wendax · March 05, 2011, 10:38:13 AM

Well, this picture isn't in my book. There are two others. Unfortunately, I don't have a possibility to scan them.

Amsterdam · March 05, 2011, 10:42:19 AM

That's a pity. Maybe he got it from a old magazine then. I do not know.

At least it seems to have been constructed in Danzig/Gdansk, before it was built in Germany.

Here is the original and non-retouched 1924 puzzle photo:

The early versions apparently were engineless:
