Who knows this one?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #1 on:** September 15, 2010, 05:44:58 PM »

no ideas?

I have some ideas..... when I saw this one I thought 'oh yeh, I have that somewhere, it'll come to me soon'... but now I cannot for the life of me remember where i've seen it, or what it's called.

This is one of several frustrating puzzles that are current at the moment.

to save it being an easy meal for a pro, i'll make some guesses
Based on DKW?

Not a DKW, but the overall direction is right.

woodinsight · « **Reply #4 on:** September 16, 2010, 07:25:49 AM »

NSU based?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #5 on:** September 16, 2010, 11:11:10 AM »

It´s getting very hot!

woodinsight · « **Reply #6 on:** September 16, 2010, 12:36:35 PM »

Hmm...
If not DKW or NSU based perhaps Steyr-Puch?

barrett · « **Reply #7 on:** September 16, 2010, 12:46:13 PM »

At first I thought it was BMW-based but a quick check told me it wasn't one of the two cars I was thinking of.... could it still be based on a BMW?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #8 on:** September 17, 2010, 07:00:26 AM »

Sorry, I wasn´t precise enough with my last post.

It is NSU-based, of course!

woodinsight · « **Reply #9 on:** September 17, 2010, 08:35:09 AM »

I rather think that it was me who misinterpreted your post!

"It's getting very hot!" should of course be interpreted as "getting close"

Therefore I now think this may be the 1960s Gepard-NSU

grobmotorix · « **Reply #10 on:** September 17, 2010, 12:31:56 PM »

It is indeed the privately built NSU TTS Gepard.

The photography shows the 1967 Prototype by Mr.Fellhauer at the Heilbronn/Neuffen hillclimb.

oko94 · « **Reply #16 on:** June 12, 2015, 05:18:11 AM »

Made in Italy ?

SACO · « **Reply #17 on:** June 12, 2015, 06:57:59 AM »

Not made in Italy !

nicanary · « **Reply #18 on:** June 12, 2015, 07:08:39 AM »

It looks so much like a Biota, but I know it's not. It's LHD for a start!

French?

oko94 · « **Reply #19 on:** June 12, 2015, 07:33:49 AM »

Simca based ?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #20 on:** June 12, 2015, 08:51:39 AM »

Looks like Jeff Jackson's Sportster...

Which was also RHD!. My first glance at the photo said "Collesano" in the Targa Florio, but I've searched records, and it doesn't fit the entries. I think it could be a hillclimb event, and there's a certain site which has many,many photos of that era, and I'm talking over 1000 pages!

I don't think I can be bothered........

SACO · « **Reply #22 on:** June 12, 2015, 11:28:22 AM »

Not Simca based !
Not French !
A hillclimb event but not Jeff Jackson's Sportster !

nicanary · « **Reply #23 on:** June 12, 2015, 11:34:47 AM »

Sorry SACO, we're not asking questions correctly. Just random opinions and observations.

Is it BMW 700 based?

oko94 · « **Reply #24 on:** June 12, 2015, 11:45:42 AM »

Made in Benelux ?
