Yes, indeed, a modern recreation of the Brütsch Mopetta.

[Wendax]

I changed Egg 33, because it was identical to another one, sorry.

[pguillem]

So many eggs, and it's not Eastern time. Ei, Ei, Ei or, as we say in french : Aïe aïe aïe !

Egg 35 : it's the Opelit, isn't it ?

[Wendax]

Egg 35 : it's the Opelit, isn't it ?

Yes, that's the only surviving Opelit, an attempt by Georg von Opel to build the slightly modified Brütsch Mopetta under licence in 1957 at the Horex factory.

Egg 38: TOURETTE SUPREME made in UK by Progress-Supreme Co. with a single stroke, single cylinder Villiers engine of 197 c.c.. That car looks to me that is the only one between the 40 eggs listed that doesn't has any relation with Brütsch designs. Looks very similar to the Zwergs or Avolettes but the first Tourettes appeared in 1956 before of the mentioned Brüstch models...

I'm sorry about your decision to upgrade this puzzle to pros, I was prepared to obtain almost 30 points with my answers...

Yes, the Progress Supreme Tourette shares its looks eith the Brütsch cars, but is technically independent from them. It is the false egg in here and was supposed to fool the puzzlers (to no avail). We had it here before: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=16553.0 BTW, the first Brütsch Spatz appeared in 1954.

26 is brutsch 400 i think

Yes, but one letter missing to describe this body version: Brütsch _ 400. Any idea?

I hope you mean the word Cabrio-Limousine. It was made by Wendler

No, I'm not looking for a word, but a single letter (A, B, C, ...). Combine that with your guess and you are close to the solution.  

C

[Wendax]

You think in the right direction, but in the wrong language. Think German!

#23 : Brutsch Eremit 1950 ?

[Wendax]

#23 : Brutsch Eremit 1950 ?

No, I know that some sources call it a Typ T or an Eremit, but I think that the correct designation is another one. For the next 24 hours you can join Paul Jaray in thinking about the missing letter:

#23: NSU Powered 125cc

We had that already established.

Egg 23: BRÜTSCH  T MODELL, first car built by Egon Brütsch with a single seat presented in 1950 with a 175 c.c. engine from NSU latter were installed Bker & Polling 250 c.c. engines.

Now that's where things get complicated. You are right that it is the first of the Brütsch microcars (He built racecars and children's cars before). It started with a NSU engine (125 cc I think) and was later on equipped with a Baker  & Pölling engine. I found several names applied to this car, but going by reliability of the source I tend to say that this car was not the T, that was a later model of similar layout. I would say that it was called something else, also a one-letter type name.

Now you have 24 hours of time to find the missing letter.

I can play now ?

For the next 24 hours you can place answers only for Egg #23.

No16: A few Gullwing-top Spatz models were offered by Harald Friedrich. So it is a Bayerische Autowerke Gmbh Spatz Coupe, shown at IFMA 1956

Correct.

Egg #23 : Brutsch Touren ?

[Wendax]

Egg #23 : Brutsch Touren ?

No, I'm just looking for a single letter (like Brütsch Typ T)

Egg #33 -1952-53 Brütsch-Ford 1200 Sport Coupe by Wendler. One-off.

[SACO]

Egg #23 : Brutsch Typ S ?

[Tom_I]

Egg 24: Brütsch V2, 1956-58

[Wendax]

Egg #33 -1952-53 Brütsch-Ford 1200 Sport Coupe by Wendler. One-off.

Yes, this is the Brütsch 1200 Coupé by Wendler. There was another coupe with white plastic body, done by Wacker (Pforzheim), recognizable by its windows behind the doors. The third Brütsch 1200 was a convertible by Wendler. All can be seen here: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=15297.0

[Wendax]

Egg #23 : Brutsch Typ S ?

Yes, that's the name I was after. The S probably stood for Sport-Modell in contrast to T for Touren-Modell.

Egg #13 is the redesigned Avolette from 1957. This was Lambretta engined and known as the LA 150 (& presumably the LA 125 or LA 175 depending on what cc motor you specified)
