Please tell me a lot of things about this racecar. What was its name? What was its donor? Who was its (relatively) famous driver? When was it built?

Any chance it's a BMW special of Marin Dumitrescu?

Faksta, it is locked for you. I need the name and the year when it was built

1949, probably? Through 1946-1948 he was said to be racing another special, Jeep based. As for the name, I never knew the name of this car. Maybe I will be able to trace it now, but all I've got on Romanian racing is from the web. It's only moments ago that I stumbled upon a book on Romanian racing history written by... Marin Dumitrescu!

While I'm searching for the name, is this book worth buying? Does it really give an impression on Romanian racing? I mean, cars, drivers, tracks, races...

Title: Re: PN #312

Year 1946, called Vulcan!

Congratulations. I'll check the book again, but it did not leave such a big impression on me
