Who knows the builder´s name of this car?

grobmotorix · October 14, 2012, 05:40:56 AM

Up!

German car i guess?

grobmotorix · October 14, 2012, 06:46:37 AM

This is for sure...

c.1956 Goliath GP700 cabriolet?

grobmotorix · October 14, 2012, 08:12:29 AM

It´s not a Goliath.

Bill Murray · October 14, 2012, 08:16:41 AM

Gutbrod??

grobmotorix · October 14, 2012, 08:43:32 AM

No, the Goliath guess was closer... $:-\$
While Gutbrod is closer, too - but only alphabetically

Bill Murray · October 14, 2012, 09:13:52 AM

Glas or Glas/Goggomobil??

I am just staying with G's here if that was a tip.

D-type · October 14, 2012, 09:49:46 AM

A Lloyd 600?

grobmotorix · October 14, 2012, 09:52:26 AM

Yes, it´s Lloyd, that´s quite obvious.

But this one is a very special one-off and I wan´t to see the correct builder´s name here...

richard cuyler · October 15, 2012, 04:24:10 PM

Hansa?

grobmotorix · October 15, 2012, 04:29:15 PM

No, it´s a Lloyd.

thorax · November 11, 2012, 05:11:30 PM

is the coachbuilder German?

grobmotorix · November 11, 2012, 05:29:33 PM

Yes, but he was a single man, not a company I think.

grobmotorix · November 28, 2012, 03:21:09 PM

Our professional puzzlers might know this one...

This roadster was built by Franz Kleevisch from Gmünd (Eifel) in 1961. It is based upon a Lloyd Alexander TS.

!!!

Perfect!

Hi,

Franz Kleevisch was my grandfather (my mothers dad). Does anybody know something more about him or his cars?
Thank you

Kirsten

Wendax · June 17, 2016, 11:52:50 AM

Hello Kirsten,

all I know about your grandfather's car is the short article in Hanns-Peter von Thyssen-Bornemissza's book "Europäische Kleinwagen, Band 2: 1956-1965" which you can see below. Do you have any pictures of your grandfather's selfbuilt cars?

grobmotorix · June 17, 2016, 12:56:06 PM

Dann habe ich für Sie einen Brief Ihres Großvaters an die Auto Motor & Sport von 05/1962

Then I can present you this letter to the editor, that was written by your grandfather...

Kirsten · June 17, 2016, 02:12:12 PM

Hallo zusammen,

das ist ja toll, ich freu mich!

Genau so, wie er schreibt, war er auch! Wie ein großes, verspieltes Kind und ganz viel Schalk im Nacken

Ich werde meine Mutter nach Fotos fragen und diese dann gerne hier posten!

Vielen Dank und herzliche Grüße - Kirsten

grobmotorix · June 17, 2016, 05:11:53 PM

Yes, please - that´s great news - any new photos are highly appreciated!
