Leichtauto?

No - this was probably a one-off, built by an individual together with a company. It had a very interesting feature

Engine configuration? Like rotary or radial engine?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #10 on:** October 30, 2012, 11:01:39 AM »

something to do with the engine

RayTheRat · « **Reply #11 on:** October 30, 2012, 11:51:20 AM »

2-stroke? Although that doesn't seem to have been all that unusual in eastern Europe (including what was the DDR.)

Gasi? In addition to that: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=16112.0 they also built a motorcycle engined one-off with two seats next to each other.

Is it a Hermann Dorner development for Max Jüdel AG in Osnabrück, featuring a four-cylinder Diesel engine?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #14 on:** October 30, 2012, 01:45:39 PM »

It is a 2-stroke engine and it is a diesel-type engine (Schwerölmotor) but not by Hermann Dorner

Was the company involved Junkers?

After Christmas this will go to the Black Hole

Wendax · « **Reply #18 on:** December 20, 2012, 04:18:28 PM »

Before that I will have another try: Is it the Leifa, built in 1924/25 by the Metallwerke Borsdorf AG, featuring an Albertus "Rohölmotor"? It was started with usual petrol and then switched to burning oil.

pnegyesi · « **Reply #19 on:** December 21, 2012, 03:45:07 AM »

locked for you. Give me a model designation x/y ps and then the point is yours!

Wendax · « **Reply #20 on:** December 21, 2012, 04:02:44 AM »

I just found the information that it had a 1.5 litre engine with 18 hp. That would make it a 6/18 PS, unless it was calculated as a two-stroke engine which would make it a 8/18 PS, but I think it was the former.

pnegyesi · « **Reply #21 on:** December 21, 2012, 04:04:53 AM »

I have it as 6/16 PS - but otherwise it is correct. Well done!

Wendax · « **Reply #22 on:** December 21, 2012, 04:08:49 AM »

Thank you! There is a typo in the headline: it must be Rohölmotor, not Rohrölmotor.

I found that Rohölmotor translates as "crude oil motor". I'm not sure exactly how this is meant...did it run on crankcase oil, diesel oil or some dead dinosaur stuff right out of the ground?

Wendax · « **Reply #24 on:** December 21, 2012, 05:40:48 PM »

That is an old name for Diesel engines.
