Austrian?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #4 on:** August 05, 2010, 08:36:49 AM »

Not Beetle-based and it was not made in Austria

Professionals?

Allemano · « **Reply #6 on:** August 12, 2010, 07:08:20 AM »

looking at the plate it should be German, then.

pnegyesi · « **Reply #7 on:** August 12, 2010, 07:55:24 AM »

Yes, this one is from Germany.

Maico Champion? Maybe a race special?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #9 on:** August 12, 2010, 01:13:06 PM »

No it is not a Maico Champion

One-off-home-built, again?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #11 on:** August 12, 2010, 01:36:24 PM »

Yes

Allemano · « **Reply #12 on:** August 12, 2010, 01:57:20 PM »

As I can't find it in "our" source it will be a hard nut to crack, I'm afraid...

pnegyesi · « **Reply #13 on:** August 12, 2010, 02:32:47 PM »

Yes, it was featured in a period magazine - but I know that sooner or later someone will find it

grobmotorix · « **Reply #14 on:** August 31, 2010, 05:15:32 PM »

Pure incidence- but I´ve found it in "Rollerei und Mobil" issue 7/56:

it is a selfbuilt little sports machine that first had a 350ccm MAG engine and later a 12.5 PS 400 ccm Ilo WEGR 2/200 engine.
Parts were used from BMW Dixi, Opel kadett, Opel Olympia, Lloyd etc...

The builder was a certain Mr. Schirdewahn who drove this little thing at various events:

I like the "Eigenbau" badge!

Seems this car was built somewhere in "Niedersachsen" (BN = Lower Saxony)

Bump....

Thanks PJ, I have a serious backlog of puzzles to browse through. I'll try to clear it in a week or so.

And Grobmotorix - oops, you did it again!!! Congratulations

Wow, nice! Where did you find these? Can you PM me the source please?

Allemano · « **Reply #20 on:** October 30, 2011, 11:16:27 AM »

This car was actually called Schirdewahn ESD 1.

And a view into the engine compartment with the 400 cc Ilo:

A (small) picture.
Apparently it's called the ESD1, but maybe it only became that after the ESD2 appeared..
