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

A Lloyd 600?

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...

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

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

Hi,

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

Kirsten

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?

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...

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  :D

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

Vielen Dank und herzliche Grüße - Kirsten
