was the car actually ever built?
Title: Re: grob 2018.02.04 (01)
Post by: grobmotorix on February 20, 2018, 12:47:41 PM
Not as it looks here - later versions were models and I think the last stage was a real car, which we already had here.

A very well known designer was involved here...
Title: Re: grob 2018.02.04 (01)
Post by: kwgibbs on February 20, 2018, 12:51:24 PM
so was the designer from around the 1930s-1960s?

He started in the 1920´s and was active in the same time as you wrote before...

John (Joop) Tjaarda.  His cars, and design studies were named "Sterkenberg" after some family connection.  He may well have been influenced by Edmund Rumpler, as the two worked at Spjeker at one time.

LOCKED for you!

Sterkenburg is the name I was after.

Which model designation did this one have?

Three tries for you...

Post by: FrontMan on February 25, 2018, 03:13:56 PM
....all I can find is that it dates from 1931. but I can't find a type reference.

Post by: grobmotorix on February 25, 2018, 04:12:06 PM
I know this 1931 publication, too.

One source I found claims to know the name or better designation of this design.

As you did not give me a name guess you still got three more tries.

does it happen to be the briggs dream car?
Title: Re: grob 2018.02.04 (01) / a Tjaarda design
Post by: grobmotorix on February 26, 2018, 03:36:14 PM
I guess this design was a stepstone that also led to the Briggs car.

However, as mentioned before, my source called this sketch Sterkenburg XXX car (don´t count the X´s...)

Post by: kwgibbs on February 26, 2018, 04:01:06 PM
so far the only information I could find was ,Sterkenburg rear-engine car?,I,ll keep searching though.
Title: Re: grob 2018.02.04 (01) / a Tjaarda design

I believe you are looking for Sterkenburg "Type C3." This was one in a series of such designs, as seen here:
