Unfortunately I lost all the infos I had of this car.
I still have a name for it, but can't find anything on the internet anymore.  :-\


Happy puzzling!  ;D

The date seems to be about mid-30s , looking at the clothes/attending cars. It's a small capacity car, and the slim wire wheels indicate a need to minimise rolling resistance and frontal area.

Is this a speed-record attempt at somewhere like Dessau ?
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

I don't know but it's possible...

Is it a Möritz Spezial, built by the motorcycle racing driver Josef Möritz from Munich? He built a very similar looking threewheeler in October 1934. It was powered by a 350 cc Motosacoche resp. a 500 cc DKW engine. He managed to break some world speed records in his class. The record drive took place near Budapest. Perhaps he tried to achieve some records in the car classes by exchanging the single rear wheel by a rear axle?

Well done, well done! :applause:

I still got no clue how you again and again find the solutions of puzzles in this wide subject, but I'm impressed. 'Möritz' is exactly the name I have for this image.

I think Wendax has a very big motoring library.
So have I - I just have no time to look at it!

About 300 books of mixed quality (and tons of magazines in the basement). So it finally turns out to know where to look.  ;)
