No, it is not a Podeus. I don't know the coachbuilder.

NAG?

Yes! What to do now? I only have a vague contemporary description of the car and the name of the driver. Let's have a try on both.

I think this a 10/30 PS - either a pre-war K-type or the post-war C4.
Driver: Christian Riecken?

Title: Re: Wendax 707
Post by: Wendax on November 18, 2012, 03:12:32 AM

I agree about the car. I just have "NAG Sport-Modell" which isn't very precise.  :(
The driver wasn't Christian Riecken, but another NAG racing driver.

Wilhelm Heine?

Title: Re: Wendax 707
Post by: Wendax on November 18, 2012, 03:35:20 AM

Yes. Wilhelm Heine was killed in 1929 during training sessions at the Nürburgring "Steilstrecke", a 27 percent slope, when his car didn't manage to master the slope, rolled backwards and turned over. That was already his second attempt at the slope that day. In his first attempt the car rolled backwards and turned over, too, but Heine escaped unhurt.
