Title: SOLVED: Djetset #576 - Fafnir Typ 471 9/30 PS by Authenrieth
Post by: Djetset on January 24, 2012, 01:32:01 PM
Another small batch of new puzzles to follow.

For a point, what it the make, model and coach builder of this car?

Opel Laubfrosch of about 1925?

Not an Opel.

Fafnir 9/30 PS?

Post by: Djetset on February 11, 2012, 06:10:33 AM
Spot on!  Any idea whose coachwork it wears to complete the puzzle.  Locked to you.

Not Szawe.  One more Lock for you.
Title: Re: Djetset #576
Post by: woodinsight on February 13, 2012, 12:29:54 PM
Thanks for the additional lock - how about Rupflin?
Title: Re: Djetset #576
Post by: Djetset on February 13, 2012, 01:33:17 PM
Not Rupflin.  Moderately less obscure, so one last lock, and then open to all afterwards if not correct.

Sorry WI, but not Kathe.  Any further ideas?

Still locked?
Title: Re: Djetset #576
Post by: Djetset on February 13, 2012, 04:36:27 PM
Not any longer, as Woodinsight has had a few tries at identifying the correct coachbuilder.  I have a feeling you will get this one instantly Wendax, so go, go, go...

I'm not sure about this one, but the Fafnir bodies were mostly done by Christian Miesen in Bonn.

Another picture of this car, with a very contemporary colour scheme:

Hmmm, very fetching!  The Puzzle car is not a Miesen creation though.

Was the coachbuilder located within 200 km from the Fafnir works in Aachen?
Title: Re: Djetset #576
Post by: João on February 14, 2012, 12:50:08 PM
Auer?
Title: Re: Djetset #576
Post by: woodinsight on February 14, 2012, 01:31:08 PM
Nowack?
Title: Re: Djetset #576
Post by: Djetset on February 14, 2012, 04:05:19 PM
If my German geography is correct, the coachbuilder was based more than 200 km from Fafnir in Aachen, and it is not Auer or Nowack.

Post by: Wendax on February 14, 2012, 04:16:28 PM
Found it, just had to look in the right book: it is an Autenrieth body. But reading the text more closely, the author says that he doesn't have an original photo of the Autenrieth-bodied Fafnir, so he is showing a similar body. That would open the question again in so far as the puzzle car has a standard body offered (not built) by Fafnir, which makes me think of Miesen again.
Title: Re: Djetset #576
Post by: Djetset on February 14, 2012, 04:29:36 PM
Ah ha, all very complex.  Anyway, Autenrieth was the name I was looking for.  As I am feeling generous, I will give one point to Wendax for his detective work, and another to Woodinsight for correctly naming the make and model.

Post by: Wendax on February 14, 2012, 04:35:13 PM
Thank you  :)

BTW, there is a typo in the headline. It is Autenrieth.
