Is it the Cisitalia 750 from 1961 ?

Quiller · October 09, 2009, 06:53:49 PM

Not that...

75america · October 19, 2009, 03:05:23 PM

But is it Italian?

Quiller · October 19, 2009, 04:05:53 PM

Its designer was Italian.......

NSU?

rear-engined?

Quiller · October 21, 2009, 08:19:07 AM

Yup

guido66 · October 21, 2009, 12:34:53 PM

Mechanical bits from Fiat?

Quiller · October 21, 2009, 03:18:47 PM

The engine is one of the most interesting things about this car .....

guido66 · October 21, 2009, 04:31:45 PM

Motorcycle engined?

Quiller · October 22, 2009, 09:29:28 AM

The info I have is not very specific about the make of engine; however, it's possible to make an eductaed guess. In any case, it's the format of the engine which is unusual

guido66 · October 22, 2009, 11:12:55 AM

If it's bigger than normal and in the rear, it almost would have to be a boxer. Perhaps a 6 cylinder?

Quiller · October 22, 2009, 03:14:48 PM

Boxer = yes 8) :applause:
But not six cylinders ...

Quiller · November 02, 2009, 06:44:41 PM

Attention! Professionals!

Steyr Puch Project S with Vignale body and four cyl. boxer in the rear. Actually they took two 2cyl boxers assembled to one engine.

Quiller · November 03, 2009, 07:06:26 AM

Correct! Built for Max Hoffmann. I can't find any definitive answer for this, but I presume that the two-cylinder engines joined together to make a 'four' were Fiat 500...
Another pic:

Allemano · November 03, 2009, 07:12:35 AM

Thanks, as I couldn't find a recent pic!
Do you have a rear view as well?

ImpishGrin · December 02, 2009, 09:38:24 AM

Does anyone maybe know where the colour photo was taken?

Fiat 500 had a 2 cylinder in line engine. But the Austrian Steyr-Puch 500/650/700 version had its own two-cylinder boxer by Puch.

Quiller · December 03, 2009, 11:49:39 AM

DynaMike - I agree it's probably the Steyr twin doubled up.
As for where the pic was taken, I have no idea. How many transport museums are there in Austria?
