All quiet on the Rookie front, so time for the Experts to make some noise.

Well, it looks German, maybe Volkswagen based.
Title: Re: Djetset #193
Post by: Djetset on August 24, 2009, 08:02:38 AM
It is German, but no VW-based to my knowledge.

I think this is based on a Porsche 356 - an early 1950s model. I am trying to find who did the body.

Glöckler?

I think you're steering down the wrong Autobahn with this one!
Title: Re: Djetset #193
Post by: pnegyesi on August 24, 2009, 09:02:17 AM
So it isn't Porsche 356 based, is it so?
Title: Re: Djetset #193
Post by: Djetset on August 24, 2009, 09:03:39 AM
Nein!
Title: Re: Djetset #193

DKW?
Title: Re: Djetset #193
Post by: pnegyesi on August 26, 2009, 10:35:01 AM
I just realized that there's an Opel in the background. Got anything to do with Opel?
Title: Re: Djetset #193
Post by: Djetset on September 02, 2009, 12:18:41 PM
Please forgive the slow response.  It's got no connection with Porsche, DKW or Opel.
Title: Re: Djetset #193
Post by: pnegyesi on September 02, 2009, 12:44:22 PM
BMW-based?
Title: Re: Djetset #193
Post by: faksta on September 02, 2009, 04:47:12 PM
Mercedes-Benz  ???
Title: Re: Djetset #193
Post by: Djetset on September 03, 2009, 09:44:03 AM
Not Mercedes nor BMW.

No and no.

A shot in the dark: any connection to Brütsch?
Title: Re: Djetset #193
Post by: Djetset on September 07, 2009, 07:25:42 AM
Not that I'm aware of.
Title: Re: Djetset #193
Post by: pnegyesi on September 07, 2009, 09:07:58 AM
I am just looking at this car and I can't find it in any of my books. Those headlights and the split-windscreen, hmm, maybe Gutbrod Superior-based?
Title: Re: Djetset #193
Post by: guido66 on September 07, 2009, 11:31:39 AM
Is it a Wendax Roadster?
Title: Re: Djetset #193
Post by: Djetset on September 07, 2009, 04:28:54 PM
No.
Title: Re: Djetset #193
Post by: pnegyesi on September 07, 2009, 10:23:15 PM
No to both the Gutbrod and the Wendax?
Title: Re: Djetset #193
Post by: Djetset on September 08, 2009, 02:36:16 AM
No to both Gutbrod and Wendax!
Title: Re: Djetset #193
Post by: pnegyesi on September 08, 2009, 03:04:19 AM
Built in Germany, based on post-war German-car?
Title: Re: Djetset #193
Post by: Djetset on September 08, 2009, 03:11:57 AM
Yes.
Title: Re: Djetset #193
Post by: pnegyesi on September 08, 2009, 03:47:40 AM
Another Champion-based special?
Title: Re: Djetset #193
Post by: Djetset on September 08, 2009, 03:49:46 AM
Not Champion-based, and also intended for regular production (although i am uncertain as to how many were built).
Title: Re: Djetset #193
Post by: pnegyesi on September 08, 2009, 03:55:47 AM
Hmm, there are fewer and fewer possibilities.

Was Lloyd a donor?
Title: Re: Djetset #193
Post by: Djetset on September 08, 2009, 04:02:00 AM
No!
Title: Re: Djetset #193
Post by: pnegyesi on September 08, 2009, 04:11:54 AM
Let me be a bit more precise, was this created in West Germany?
Title: Re: Djetset #193
Post by: faksta on September 08, 2009, 07:45:38 AM
Could it be an EMW car?
Title: Re: Djetset #193
Post by: pnegyesi on September 09, 2009, 11:19:27 PM
And if it was built in West Germany, could this be the Espenlaub prototyp from 1952?
Title: Re: Djetset #193
Post by: Djetset on September 18, 2009, 03:40:35 PM
I'm still not certain if this was East or West German, but I do know that it is neither an EMW or Espenlaub prototype.
Title: Re: Djetset #193
Post by: pnegyesi on September 19, 2009, 01:22:25 AM
Hmm, getting interesting. Could this be built on an Adler chassis?
Title: Re: Djetset #193
Post by: Djetset on September 19, 2009, 03:00:08 AM
No, not an Adler either!
Title: Re: Djetset #193
Post by: pnegyesi on September 19, 2009, 03:53:32 AM
Any connections to the Borgward-Hansa-Goliath empire?
Title: Re: Djetset #193
Post by: Djetset on September 30, 2009, 03:59:31 PM
No known connections with the Borgward empire.

Indeed! ;D
It's the German "Puck"

The one-off was built in 1952 by the brothers Krick from Hofgeismar. The chassis was donated by VW, the rear axle was borrowed by a Opel Kadett. The body was hand made of Aluminium.
Powered by a Zündapp KS-600 rear engine it developed 22 HP which supposedly propelled that tiny car to a top speed of 150km/h

At last, it is indeed the German Puck, powered by a Zundap engine.  Well done ;D

Post by: woodinsight on March 14, 2011, 04:34:24 AM
The letter was in Markt September 1986

Would be interisting to know if it still exists.
