That's exactly what I have it as too, but don't believe it's early 50s!  Must be 30s or 40s; what do you think?

What we exchanged messages about off-forum showed a certainly 1930s car as 1950s and this one was part of the same group, so the date is just as doubtful.

Yes, I would definitely put it about 1937/8.

The german version of Wikipedia tells that it is the three-wheeled version of the Espenlaub "Flunder" made in 1947.

Ok, will take that as gospel then.  Can believe that date rather than 50s!
