Who knows this one?
no ideas?
I have some ideas..... when I saw this one I thought 'oh yeh, I have that somewhere, it'll come to me soon'... but now I cannot for the life of me remember where i've seen it, or what it's called. ::) This is one of several frustrating puzzles that are current at the moment.
to save it being an easy meal for a pro, i'll make some guesses
Based on DKW?
Not a DKW, but the overall direction is right.
NSU based?
It´s getting very hot!
Hmm...
If not DKW or NSU based perhaps Steyr-Puch?
At first I thought it was BMW-based but a quick check told me it wasn't one of the two cars I was thinking of.... could it still be based on a BMW?
Sorry, I wasn´t precise enough with my last post.
It is NSU-based, of course!
I rather think that it was me who misinterpreted your post!
"It's getting very hot!" should of course be interpreted as "getting close"
Therefore I now think this may be the 1960s Gepard-NSU
It is indeed the privately built NSU TTS Gepard.
The photography shows the 1967 Prototype by Mr.Fellhauer at the Heilbronn/Neuffen hillclimb.
View from the top:
(the best pic I could find :-\)
I´ve found a 1967 motor and interiour shot today:
What's this and by whom, for 1 point ? :)
Experts !
Pros !
Made in Italy ?
Not made in Italy !
It looks so much like a Biota, but I know it's not. It's LHD for a start!
French?
Simca based ?
Looks like Jeff Jackson's Sportster...

Which was also RHD!. My first glance at the photo said "Collesano" in the Targa Florio, but I've searched records, and it doesn't fit the entries. I think it could be a hillclimb event, and there's a certain site which has many,many photos of that era, and I'm talking over 1000 pages!
I don't think I can be bothered........ ;D
Not Simca based !
Not French !
A hillclimb event but not Jeff Jackson's Sportster !
Sorry SACO, we're not asking questions correctly. Just random opinions and observations.
Is it BMW 700 based?
Made in Benelux ?
Not BMW 700 based but made in Benelux !
From Belgium ?
Not from Belgium !
A Dutch one-off, may be Porsche-based ?

I've found the car, thanks to Georgano and his large book of motor racing. I thought it might be one of the Spiess cars , but it's an NSU-Gepard being driven by H.P.Richrath on the Course de Cote de Dudelange in Luxembourg. The caption believes it is 1968 or 1969, although I would have said a few years earlier by the style of the helmet and overalls.
(Georgano names these 2 makers of racing NSUs and a quick Google Image search comes up with this one photo.)
Same car ?(http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=13635.0
Yes !NSU-Gepard being driven by H.P.Richrath on the Course de Cote de Dudelange in Luxembourg !
1 point for nicanary ! :)
Sorry for the repost !
Please merged !
...but this is one of Helmut Kretzschmann's Gepard, right?
Herbert Fellhauer was not the builder if I am correct.
