Eastern Europe?

[Wendax]

No

[Allemano]

German?

[Wendax]

Surprise, surprise! Yes!

[Allemano]

Related to Zoller?

[Wendax]

Yes, very close, but I don't have it as a Zoller. Locked for you.

[Allemano]

Was it built after the decease of Arnold Zoller?

[Wendax]

No, I don't think so. Perhaps Zoller is on the photo, too.

[Allemano]

the still-born DKW-Rennwagen project?

[Wendax]

It is DKW based. I'm looking for a name related to Zoller and DKW, and not unknown at AutoPuzzles.

[Allemano]

Röhr?

[Wendax]

No

There is a photo of this car in Georgano's "Encyclopedia of Motor Sport" where it is described as a 1935 Zoller 1.5-litre racing car. Apparently Gerhard Macher tried to carry on with the development of the car after Arnold Zoller's death.
Perhaps Macher is the name you're looking for?

[Wendax]

Yes, Gerhard Macher is the name I was looking for. But I don't think that this puzzle car is the Zoller racing car. We had that before: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=8756.0
This one is DKW-based. If you can supply the right year, we have all parts together to call this one solved. Locked for you.

[woodinsight]

Yes, of course you're right - this is not the Zoller rennwagen.
I have to admit I didn't study the photo properly....

As to the year, I believe the car was racing in 1933 but may have been built a year earlier.

[Wendax]

Yes. I'm quite sure this is Gerhard Macher's DKW-based racecar with Zoller compressor, he raced in 1933. The car was supposedly nicknamed "Trotzkopf".

One more point for you.
