Muddy streets were on his way.

For one point, please respond and identify this car.

Is it a Hungarian Magomobil or MAG?

Wendax

Yes, it is a Magomobil. Locked for you to give me an approximate year.

AlexFrance

Probably from the 1926-27 period, and maybe a Magosix?

Wendax

Close enough, the picture was taken from a 1925 article.

One more point for you.

Perhaps one of our Hungarian members knows more about it?

AlexFrance

Thanks!

I had never heard of Magomobil before but the big clue for me was the name of the tyres! I discovered it was related to Hungary, but at the same time the flag before the grill was not the flag of Hungary. Nevertheless, I kept on looking for Hungarian car manufacturers until I found out about MAG and immediately recognised that particular -and beautiful- radiator shape. Then I searched some Hungarian car-related websites and heard about some racers made by MAG (or Magomobil) around 1926.

Regarding the flag: I believe it might be the MAG emblem or logo.
