So the puzzle car itself is not German. Is it from Europe though?

guido66 · « **Reply #32 on:** July 27, 2010, 04:22:13 AM »

Yes, it's European. The photo's were taken at or near the factory site. It's is certain that there was a factory with the necessary machinery, but it is uncertain if production really got started at that site. Some of the machines were still in use over 50 years later!

Besides the German investor there was also a local wealthy man involved.

Was this factory in Eastern Europe (including Romania, Poland etc.)?

Not in that direction

Yes, indeed!

According to Autodesign in Nederland this is the Ley. And indeed I found the page on Machinefabriek W. Ley which in 1922 offered this little car.
