Can we please ask the family to move just a little bit? I just need a name here for a point. The family or the brand name (which is just the same)

The position of the rear wheels is more then only obscure. Mid-engined?

Meray?
The Threewheeler of my picture with Mr. Meray looks similar to the Fourwheel-Puzzle-car...

very, very good, you are eagle-eyed

In 1933-1934 Tibor Takátsy, who worked for Magyar Acélárugyár (Hungarian Factory of Steel Goods) the parent company of Méray Motorcycle Co designed a chassis with a three-cylinder radial engine. Nine trucks and one passenger car was completed. The puzzle picture shows Endre Méray-Horváth with members of the family Méray family and the mysterious passenger car. There were three other photos known but those have disappeared in the last 20 years and only a colour photocopy remains of those.

Great information. Thank you so much. I had no idea about this car at first. Remembered only this sharp, proudly face of the builder, Mr. Méray....

Were there more than one or was it modernized? It has a completely different bodywork and different wheels.

Come to think of it, you are right.

It is possible that the puzzle car is a different model after all, which nobody remembered. It was very difficult to do research on this company.
