For P&FW!
DB engine?
Sorry - stupid question by me.
Based on a Deutsch Bonnet, or a predecessor of one of their cars (which had Panhard engines)
No, far from that.
The builder was related to a known company, but I don't know what this particular car is based on or with which parts it was built.
All I have is the builder's name and a year when the photo was made.
Love it!
Basic design at its best.
Maybe with a motorcycle engine (BMW)?
The surroundings look like early postwar Germany?

Probably a motorcycle engine, but I guess not by BMW. It's German and from the early fifities.
Could be a Zündapp head sticking out.
East German?

Could be, but I really don't know. :-\
I checked the products of that related company I referred to in reply#5. They built motor-cycles, but not with boxer engines. (assumed it actually is equipped with a boxer!)

East German?
No.
Is the related company Horex?
Open for all!
a little help:
One of the Maisch brothers?
No.
Willy Tetzlaff?

Willy Tetzlaff?
Not him and not his brother Alfred...
Meinst Du, nur Du darfst lustig sein? ;)
He was none of the Maisch brothers, but was related to Maico.
(to a minor part)
Uli Pohl?
No.
As I tried to explain in my previous post I guess he won't be mentioned in the history of Maico as he only did a second role job there.
He actully had a driver job, though. ;)
Obviousely he worked at another not car related company as a mechanic later.
Further the source reports that he started on minor racing events, though I can't find him listed anywhere on the internet (so far).
Seems he was more a kind of hobby driver.
Here you see him at the wheel in one of his other vehicles.
Next clue will be the greyed surface lifted..
To the hole?
Related to Ziehl (Spelling?) ?
It reminds me of a 750cc BMW engined car which Sigifredo Iori raced in Eritrea.

I believe the builder of our puzzle car never was in Eritrea during his lifetime...
Just out of curiousity before I lose myself in Google: are there any info available online?

Yes, but it's not that easy to find. I did detect it by sheer luck.

Wasn't this other car in a puzzle before?
Aah, I forgot to post this:
The race car was built by Wilhelm Moser in 1952. He was test driver for Maico.
That's the one! Well done! :)
Pure coincidence! I was fascinated by a rear view of the ultra-rare Lloyd LC 300 Coupé, when I suddenly found this one in the same gallery. ;D

If I remember right I was on the same trail. ;)
It's too late, so it doesn't matter. But I was referring to the second car you posted, with the previously blanked out number plate.

Does it appear on a search? I may be wrong, but think I've never seen it here.
I thought it was faksta's car you've had in mind. :-\
Isn't it this one?

I guess you are right! :o
I didn't even remember this car! :-\
Merged.
