Most of the names I have found worked on rocket motors but there is no record of them building cars, so these are just guesses.

I cannot find any reference to this car. Was it built on an old chassis from a German maker?

Wendax · November 05, 2017, 12:14:31 PM

Not from a German maker, but built on a used car's chassis.

Yes, it is a 1930 Sander-Raketenauto built on a Steyr chassis (probably Typ IV). The car followed the lines of the Opel Rak 2.
