When?
What's on with Weiss?
W.M. stands for Weiss Manfred and that was already a guess and I believe the question "does it exist?" covered Rába :)
Sorry, I have not read properly.
What's on with MAVAG?
not by MÁVAG
Is there any online-training on the subject: "History of the Hungarian vehicle industry"? :shakehead:
Yes, in Hungarian, see my signature :) In English there is my book, Cars made in Hungary but that is mostly post-WW2 and you can find bits and pieces in the Georgano encyclopedia and in other encyclopedias.
This car is mentioned many times, but I recently realised that several details were wrongly described. Hence the puzzle :)
Röck?
no, Röck stoppped automobile production in 1913 and this one is from the early 1920s.
Thank's for the info. I'll go on searching.
Well, in about two weeks' time your job will be much, much easier. You just need to buy a Hungarian classic car magazine :)
Marta?
no
The countdown begins :)
Anything to do with Majláth Mihály?
nothing
Any choice to get a trial copy of the magazine... :huh:
I don't know, I am just a contributor. It is a Hungarian magazine

So one point is yours
Would you like to go for the 2nd point? Where was it built and what was its name?
Obviously locked

Built at Unitas in 1922-1923. All we need is a name now :)!
Frefri ?
no, two more attempts and then I reveal the solution
Откройте, не нашел информацию
No problem. You did most of the work - good job.
It was called the Turán - after an Asian region where some Hungarian researchers claim the Hungarians were originated from.
Thanks, interesting puzzle.
