It's a Morgan cyclecar from Germany. Made in Berlin, 1924-1925. Powered by a 500 cc two-cylinder engine

Wow!

Thank you so much Paul - this really is why I love autopuzzles.com!

Never would I have linked those two pictures to be the same car.

Sometimes this seems to be a kind of technical archeology  :D

It is the same car. Kubisch has that drawing in his book as the Morgan illustration.

So were there two body types?

- one with a pre war DKW or Weymann style with a wooden substructure and a faux leather surface (the puzzle car)
- and the second with a plywood body (the last photo)

Looking at the four pictures in this thread, I would put them in the following chronologic order: reply #9 - reply #5 - reply #7 (=?) puzzle picture.
