No.

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...

FrontMan · 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.

grobmotorix · 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.

FrontMan · February 25, 2018, 04:26:38 PM

........sorry, no further info. on this. Please unlock.

grobmotorix · February 26, 2018, 01:35:29 PM

Sorry... $:-\$

Open for all again.

kwgibbs · February 26, 2018, 02:48:29 PM

does it happen to be the briggs dream car?

grobmotorix · 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...)

kwgibbs · 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.

was the model designation for this drawing Duesenberg?
