What's this? Who built it? When? What was its donor? A point is on offer for a complete answer.

Looks like a Veritas, but probably isn't?

It is not a Veritas

Made in Western Europe?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #5 on:** August 05, 2010, 09:29:27 AM »

just so slightly towards Central Europe

Interesting. Slightly central Europa would make me thing The GDR

Nope, AFM wasn't Austrian

Those look like Fiat 500 wheels so perhaps it was based on that.
Although Steyr had a Fiat licence post-war, I doubt they had one before as their 50 was in the same part of the market, so I can't say who might have made this.

pnegyesi · « **Reply #18 on:** August 13, 2010, 08:42:57 AM »

Yes, the donor was a pre-war Fiat Topolino

Aargh!!

I think I know the source (I've finally purchased this little brochure), but I don't have it here with me $:-\$

pnegyesi · « **Reply #20 on:** August 13, 2010, 12:08:58 PM »

You don't know the source

The picture is not from that brochure, but it is featured in that brochure...

faksta · « **Reply #21 on:** August 16, 2010, 10:05:09 AM »

It is featured there as Pracak-Suller Topolino Rennwagen, but it is clearly a nominal name, as with many old racing cars.
Allan has already said it is based on a Topolino. Built by J.Pracak in 1949, body by Oskar Suller.

pnegyesi · « **Reply #22 on:** August 16, 2010, 10:25:27 AM »

Correct. My photo is from Austro-Motor. Based on a Topolino "Testadoro" 570 cc. 400 kg.

faksta · « **Reply #23 on:** August 16, 2010, 10:57:47 AM »

I think it was 570cc, not 5700

Who knows this car?

1 point for the right basis car (easy) and the correct name I want to hear (not so easy)...
