I am browsing through a 1937 list of cars and motorcycles which were registered in Hungary. If I find an interesting, obscure brand, I try to look it up on the net.

Here's an example. Can you identify this for a point?

It is a Steigboy Schnell-Lieferwagen Type G, built from 1928 to 1930 by the Steigboy Apparatebau GmbH in Leipzig-Plagwitz. It was propelled by a 10 hp Villiers two-stroke engine or a 500cc, 12 hp Sturmey Archer four-stroke engine.

Though I missed Wendax's earlier reply (sorry about that) eventually he managed to overcome the obstacles and provide us the correct answer! Congratulations!
