Title: Solved: Wendax 557 - Burkart & Günther bodied two-seater
Post by: Wendax on April 22, 2012, 01:55:51 AM
I don't know the car manufacturer, but the interesting thing seems to be the bodywork anyway.

For one point, please respond and identify the coachbuilder.

As I said before, I don't know the marque, just the coachbuilder. But I don't think that it's an AGA.

Szawe did built complete cars and custom bodies with those rectangular fenders...
Title: Re: Wendax 557
Post by: grobmotorix on May 09, 2012, 06:08:34 PM
My second gues would be Albert Kleye from Altenburg / Saxony
Title: Re: Wendax 557
Post by: Wendax on May 10, 2012, 02:02:30 AM
Neither Szawe nor Kleye

HAWA? I go for Aga-Wagen like Guido.
Some of the AGA cars were built by Veth in Arnheim.
Title: Re: Wendax 557
Post by: Wendax on May 10, 2012, 08:52:38 AM
I don't think so. The coachbuilder I'm looking for was connected to another marque.
Title: Re: Wendax 557
Post by: grobmotorix on May 10, 2012, 02:44:34 PM
The "Peter & Moritz" Wagen from Zeitz looked quite the same.
Title: Re: Wendax 557
Post by: Wendax on May 10, 2012, 02:45:23 PM
No connection, I'm afraid
Title: Re: Wendax 557
Post by: grobmotorix on May 10, 2012, 02:48:44 PM
It could also be a Lindcar?
Title: Re: Wendax 557
Post by: Wendax on May 10, 2012, 03:32:18 PM
I don't think so. But as I said before, I just know the coachbuilder for sure. That coachbuilder did many bodies for one manufacturer, but that doesn't mean that this car definitely is from that manufacturer. I'm just looking for the coachbuilder.

I don't think I'm going to find this one.
One coachbuilder without a location that I have is Eggbrecht & Oelke......?

Yes, that's the company. They had a slightly different name before: Burkart & XXXXXXX. Complete the name and the point is yours. Locked for you.

Burkart & Günter Werke
Title: Re: Wendax 557
Post by: Wendax on May 11, 2012, 08:46:08 AM
Yes, one point for you. Burkart & Günther mainly bodied NAW (Colibri, Sperber) and Selve cars, but I don't know whether the puzzle car is a Selve or not.

Bad luck, woodinsight, but one of the answers can be used in another unsolved puzzle  ;)

More pictures tonight.

Há! Funny thing!

Same car!??
Title: Re: Solved: Wendax 557 - Burkart & Günther bodied two-seater
Post by: Wendax on December 01, 2013, 02:56:56 AM
There are two facts that make me hesitate to say that it is the same car. At first, the rear looks different to me as the Burkart & Günter car has a pointed rear end. And why on earth should a small scale Austrian cyclecar builder have let his coachwork done in a Northern German company, 900 km away from his factory? Nevertheless the two cars look awfully similar.  ;)

Post by: Allemano on December 01, 2013, 04:44:33 AM
I also think it's not exactly the same. Look at the door hinges and the dished rear rims. Also the front leaf springs seems to be different..
Most likely a case of following the same fashion.  ;)

What a pity! The resemblance is uncanny  ;D

Thank you both!
