I don't know what car has been recently solved, but is it Martini-BMW? Kurt Louis at 1966 Nuerburgring 1000km?

:applause:

You're almost there, only the designation is missing!
Yours till your next reply!

It is referred to as Martini-BMW almost everywhere, sometimes Martini-Prototyp. But since a 1963 BMW based car was a Typ 1, maybe this one is Typ 2?
Title: Re: 327. by Allemano
Post by: Allemano on January 27, 2010, 01:23:23 PM
There had been a lot Martini BMWs, but which one is this? Typ 1 or Typ 2 is not what I'm looking for.

If faksta won't bring it home it's open for all again.
Anyway, I gave faksta one point for finding the right car, but he's out of the race then. :) :(

Post by: faksta on January 27, 2010, 05:01:12 PM
Thanks :)
Out of the race means can't guess further? I believe I won't loose much now, as I really can't find a correct name, although did search in more than just one language :)

You can guess, but you won't get a second point!  ;D

Post by: faksta on January 27, 2010, 05:52:39 PM
Ah..OK, anyway I have already got one  ;D

Come on! It's pretty easy now. At least for a controlled shot in the dark..  ;)

Finally what? The "Prototype 1600" is just a name of the class, not the car :P The car is, as elsewhere, simply a Martini-BMW.

Not so cheeky Mr. Impish! I have a book about Willi Martini. Where do you have your impressive knowledge from?

What knowledge? I'm referring to PJ's answer, in which the car is described simply as a Martini-BMW, yet for some reason you've decided it's enough. I'm not trying to prove anything, it's just that I've spent some time searching for the car's designation (and failed), so i don't iunderstand why an answer without the designation was worth a point sudeenly.

As an author of a puzzle I feel free to refer to my sources as long as someone else disproves them.
And as this particular car has raced in the 1600 class it's at least easily to distinguish from other Martini BMWs. ( ;) like a Martini BMW 700 for example)

I don't think I understand the rationale, but i guess it's not important anymore.

I've extracted the right designation from PJ's answer, but I don't believe I mis-interpreted him....

I close this chapter now!
