Hungary?
Title: Re: PN #1130
Post by: pnegyesi on June 18, 2018, 12:36:43 PM
yes :)

Now we know this, there are two ways to find this car:
- you go to a digital library in Hungary and try to search in Hungarian
- you visit a specific Facebook site and try to find the info (no photo of the actual car is there, but you can find the info).

Don't try guessing, this car has not been mentioned anywhere previously.

Good luck!

So we have to look through all the GDR motor magazines like "Der Deutsche Straßenverkehr"?

Post by: pnegyesi on June 21, 2018, 04:17:43 AM
I don't think it has been mentioned outside of Hungary anywhere. Sorry. The name is an international word though, which does not really fits this car :)

Favorite ?

Indeed.

This is the Favorit microcar from Hungary. It was made by the head of the former Home Maintenance Cooperative, renamed the Favorit Cooperative, László Vörös. He previously developed his own motorcycle and in 1957 the Favorit microcar was built powered by a 250 cc Pannonia motorcycle engine. It was shown at the 1957 Budapest Industrial Fair, but it was so horrible that it was quickly forgotten.
