Who can tell me some facts about this vehicle?
Time to be promoted.
O.K., the original picture was a mere 3x2cm and I do not have another one.
So this is hard, but it´s a challenge also ;D
German?
Yes, it is german.
From a small manufacturer?
It was a bigger and (then) well known manufacturer.
If no one will ask or answer this will be acme black hole stuff.
I'll start--how about an Auto Union???
Not Wanderer, DKW, Horch or Audi.
This car was built years before the Auto-Union was formed from those four makes.
The marque you should look for was part of another german auto manufacturer´s conglomerate.
Hansa-Lloyd?
or is this a Protos NAG?
Durkopp?
LOCKED for Aaron65 for 24h.
It is indeed a Hansa. I just need a model designation of this racing variation of a stock model and the point will be yours.
Well, finding info on pre-Borgward Hansas isn't easy, and I don't have any books on them. Sooo, it looks like the car is around a 1915 model if I had to guess by the picture. The only model designation I can find from that area is a 16-50 PS. I also found a Type E that seems like the sports model, but the name doesn't seem to jibe with the others I found.
Search Autopuzzles and you will find the name...
I may have to update my estimation of the year...is it from the A6/A8 family?
not an A-Type.
Ummmm...6/18hp?
I do not want to hear numbers...
Trumpf-As??? Sorry I'm so obtuse about this!
Almost done...
Besides the Trumpf As there also was the Tr***-As.
I can smell your point now!
Treff-As?!?! :)
Sorry for torturing you. But now we have it.
It is an Hansa Treff-As Rennwagen, which was running as a racing car in Argentina in 1925.
I do not have a driver´s name or further facts.
Maybe some of our south american pros will have some additional information.
