I suppose Ferrari Mondiale is too obvious

Otto Puzzell · March 02, 2009, 04:33:29 AM

No; not one of those.

This one should be a DKW Monza-based called...Luscher-DKW.

Otto Puzzell · March 12, 2009, 05:16:17 AM

You are correct on the DKW connection. However, this car has another name than the one you stated, I believe.

I'll hold this one for you until this time tomorrow.

Paul Jaray · March 12, 2009, 05:35:04 AM

Ernst Lüscher realized these cars starting from the DKW-Monza chassis... your source reports another builder or it's the model name missing?
Somewhere this car is called Monze E-type and there is also a connection with Schenk, Dannenhauer & Stauss and Massholder who built the Monza.
(30 minuts to upload 5 pictures and still trying...)

EDIT: I'm following the SAUBER connection, probably that's the name you have!

Otto Puzzell · March 12, 2009, 06:02:34 AM

The source I've found, which is the company website of a carrosserie, founded over 60 years ago, and named for the person who designed this car (according to them, anyway).

It's referred to as a __________-DKW, on that site.

Paul Jaray · March 12, 2009, 06:04:42 AM

Sauber-DKW ?

Otto Puzzell · March 12, 2009, 06:06:51 AM

Allowing for one letter out of place, I'm giving you the point. I have this car as a Sauter DKW from 1958.

Paul Jaray · March 12, 2009, 06:11:08 AM

I was following the trace of this pictures, and I've got it listed both as a Luscher than as a Sauter, but it's definetly a Sauter!

Otto Puzzell · March 12, 2009, 06:11:50 AM

Yep.
