It looks like an Adler. Is there any info available on the Net beside the 1936 article already mentioned?

It is an Adler.
I don't know if there is something more on the net, I'll have to check.

Another photo (note that the designer/builder name is spelled differently and I believe wrongly).

Just another case of not finding the repost by a search......... >:(

The spelling of the name in the headline should be corrected as Gotthard Rimmek is correct.

This is his second eight-wheeler. The first one was built around 1925 based on a Brennabor.

This car has been puzzled before. Its builder was not Hans Richter, but Gotthard Rimmek.

Merged and picture in the first post amended.
