I just found something very similar, which was built in Hungary. I assume this is not that one :)

No

But the engine is from a German motorcycle make?
Title: Re: Wendax 512
Post by: Wendax on July 16, 2012, 03:07:00 PM
I don't know, but I think so. It is a 120 cc engine.
Title: Re: Wendax 512
Post by: Allemano on July 16, 2012, 03:24:32 PM

I just reread my source. It's a Sachs engine.
Title: Re: Wendax 512
Post by: Allemano on July 16, 2012, 03:34:38 PM
Did the builder make other cars? Maybe already mentioned here?
Title: Re: Wendax 512
Post by: Wendax on July 16, 2012, 03:36:55 PM
Twice no.

About the military parts: the source isn't quite clear whether a "food bomb" (Verpflegungsbombe) was used for the body or not.

Post by: D-type on January 06, 2014, 05:09:46 AM
A 120cc engine is very small.
The car has lights.

Could it be intended for setting long distance records rather than being a [true] racing car?
Title: Re: Wendax 512
Post by: Wendax on January 06, 2014, 05:17:55 AM
To be precise, it was a race "car" before it was converted. In its puzzle guise it was meant as a personal transport. Unfortunately it wasn't allowed to be licensed.
Title: Re: Wendax 512
Post by: Wendax on January 06, 2014, 05:23:56 AM
I want this to be solved. I need the year (no hint), the name (the same as a biblical figure) and I dispense with the builder's name (it was a guy named Eberhard).

I move this back to the pro board to get more attention.  :)

Samson, 1947?
Title: Re: Wendax 512

Still not Abraham, and not Moses, but the biblical character has also a book of the bible named after him.

Title: Re: Wendax 512
Post by: Wendax on January 06, 2014, 03:05:25 PM

Title: Re: Wendax 512

Yes and no. Job is the right character, but has a different name in Germany. Locked for you to find the correct name.
Title: Re: Wendax 512

Sorry, got busy with that list!
I'll do my homework...
Title: Re: Wendax 512
Post by: Paul Jaray on January 07, 2014, 04:08:43 PM
According to Wikipedia:

Zu den ,,Schriften" (Ketuwim) gehören:

    Psalmen
    Buch Ijob
 
I can try variations on that heme, like Jhob or similar, but you can unlock, it's pure guessing now.


   
Title: Re: Wendax 512
Post by: Wendax on January 07, 2014, 04:19:55 PM
Just click on the "Buch Ijob" link and you will get the more usual German name for Job.  ;)
