What's this, who built it and when - for 1 point ?

frederick59 · July 24, 2012, 05:02:22 AM

from France?

JonathanPoll · July 24, 2012, 06:01:47 AM

Brutsch?

SACO · July 24, 2012, 06:13:18 AM

Not French and not Brutsch !

Greetings all, first post here!

Is it a 1949 Bristol 402, built in England by Bristol Aircraft? $:-\$

I have no great confidence in this answer. Still, one must start somewhere.

SACO · July 24, 2012, 02:06:02 PM

Hello Zerk, welcome to Autopuzzles ;
regrettably it is not a Bristol !

frederick59 · July 24, 2012, 03:06:58 PM

German?

SACO · July 24, 2012, 03:10:23 PM

Partially !

SACO · July 31, 2012, 01:36:25 AM

Experts ?

The front half reminded me a bit of the Peel(?)-bodied 356-lookalike MGA, TYE 83.

German underpinnings (Gutbrod?) or German coachbuilder (Rometsch?)?

SACO · July 31, 2012, 09:35:46 AM

Yes ,German coachbuilder !

Trommel · July 31, 2012, 09:52:37 AM

But not Rometsch?

SACO · July 31, 2012, 09:56:05 AM

Not Rometsch !

Facel · July 31, 2012, 11:26:11 AM

I think it is a Wendler VW Ponton-Cabrio, 1950.

Is that the right answer?

SACO · July 31, 2012, 12:02:35 PM

Yes , Wendler but not a VW !
Locked for you !

That's a shame because I've just found out what it is ...

SACO · July 31, 2012, 01:19:48 PM

Sorry , but you found German coachbuilder and Facel found wendler ; can expect 24 hours ?

Facel · July 31, 2012, 05:24:51 PM

You are right, it is a Wendler MG Ponton-cabriolet, 1952

SACO · August 01, 2012, 02:01:51 AM

Which MG ? and I have an other year !

SACO · August 01, 2012, 12:07:15 PM

1951 MG TD Sportcabriolet by Wendler

(with a Höchstgeschwindigkeit of 125 km/h!)

Facel · August 01, 2012, 12:48:16 PM

I would say the same, Midget TD but my source said 1952...

Trommel · August 01, 2012, 02:34:05 PM

1951 on the only decent picture I've found (as per the puzzle).

SACO · August 01, 2012, 02:42:03 PM

Yes , 1951 MG TD Sportcabriolet by Wendler !
1 point for sixtee5cuda !
And sorry for Facel and Trommel

Built for the MG dealer Mölders from Heidelberg, known as a racing driver.
We had one of his specials here before:
