Not BMW, however there is an Italian connection...


BMW
Brütsch
Dornier

Is it a fiat multipla proposal built by Italy and Germany?

[grobmotorix]

No. This car is tiny.

Let´s start with this question:

Who built Fiats in Germany back then?

[kwgibbs]

sorry!,when you mentioned an Italian connection I thought maybe Germany & Italy did a proposal or something similar.

Them could it be a prototype for a different NSU-Fiat Weinsberger 500 (Later Neckar-Fiat 500)?

[grobmotorix]

Right - it is a NSU-Fiat prototype.

Still locked for you to find out more...

[luisps]

This is the prototype NSU-Fiat HR3 developed in Weinsberg in 1953, precursor of HR4 that was adopted as Nuova500. It hat a single front door hinged at the bottom, to acceed to the rear seats was necessary to jump over the front folded seats!

[grobmotorix]

Exactly.

Very good!

Your point...

[Carnut]

It had a single front door hinged at the bottom, to access the rear seats was necessary to jump over the front folded seats!

People's ideas of practicality differ somewhat...
Just the thing for giving Grandma a ride in the back!
