...but before Zetgelette.
Xtra?
Between Xtra and Zetgelette.
No options left from me I'm afraid :(
What about the Yamata from Osaka?
Not any of the known ones.
This picture is not of the car after an accident, but one of the special feature of it.
And if you look close at the man, you'll have an indication about the place...

Hitler mustache => Germany (or Austria)?
It's a German car, named after his inventor, pictured with the car, and its a 'foldable' car.
York cyclecar?
The source reports the inventor's name of this cyclecar, and it's not York. It starts with 'Z'.
Zolnay?
Not Zolnay...
Okay, because he created a foldable motorcycle - but he was Hungarian though
This man is called Heirinch...you know the country and the special feature of this car.
If you recognize also the source, a quick googling may lead you to the solution.
Heirinch or Heinrich?
Heinrich :bag: (around 30s)
foldable "Handy" car by Heinrich Zaschka
That was quick!
well done!
and another one's gone!
Found a few more photos of this vehicle :)
Wow, thank you!
and the happy couple togheter:
Another find:
For the "my car is soooo light" collection
Wow, the pictures are :) great! I don't know, why the author of the article calls the inventor of the foldable car HEINRICH ZASCHKA. The right name of the inventor is ENGELBERT ZASCHKA. Perhaps HEINRICH is an alternate name or a pseudonym for ENGELBERT ZASCHKA. Anyway I like the foldable city car of Zaschka.
I found two videos of Engelbert Zaschka and his inventions:
1. ZASCHKA Three-Wheeler (in German)

2. An early helicopter trial of Zaschka in Berlin in 1927
