Hello,
I found this site via google, searching for information about the Rode Microcar.
A few weeks ago someone offered me a 1953 Rode Magdeburg Microcar in very poor condition, that I bought today,
It´s just a wreck, but an exiting microcar.
Here are my informations about it, but I need a lot more:
Found on a Magdeburg junk yard, someone bought it an used it for growing flowers in it in his garden for 10, may be 20 years. In this time most of the wooden framework , seats ... was lost.
´The alloy front was destroyed by corrosion, where alloy meets steel, most parts have to be rebuilt.
The rear bodywork is lost completly, no idea about the style.
The complete surviving parts are painted light blue, the original paint inside seemed to be a kind of pale green.
Frame , wheels, brakes , engine, gearbox, transmission survived.
Now I need pictures of the back and the interior of the car an any information about it.
The only information I have , is a small artilcle and photo in the "Kraftfahrzeugtechnik" magazine No. 1/ 1954, Page 29.
The photo is very similar to the foto in this forum, but not exakt the same. So where did You find this foto???
Photographs of my wreck will follow here next days.
