Title: Solved - MJW #866 - Benson DKW Special 1965
Post by: woodinsight on April 08, 2012, 01:47:46 AM
It's been over a month since I last posted any puzzles so let's put that to rights now....

Let's start with a red car, albeit one that looks if it needs a bit of TLC.
A point is on offer if you can identify who built it, what engine it used and the year it was completed.

As far as I know it was not based on a Crosley and it doesn't have a Crosley engine either.
