Lovely!

Very nice! Keep them coming!

What can I do to get one of you to take guess as to what this is?
how about if we pop the hood and take a look inside?

OK Rookies, you have had your chance, now it is the Expert's turn.
Have at it.

Is it British?
It reminds me of a Larmar, although it isn't one.

Not British

Mada, an Ilo-powered microcar from Germany.

Deutschland yes, Mada nein.

Must be an one-off then, early Fifties.

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #13 on:** January 30, 2011, 05:24:46 PM »

Isn't that the same car than this:
Picture cames from "Kleinwagen International", page 91 and it's called Mada Einsitzer (single seater) and company's full name should be Maschinenfabrik G.Danger GmbH.

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #14 on:** January 30, 2011, 05:30:22 PM »

Looking better they are different, but much too close not to be related IMHO... $:-\$

microcars · « **Reply #15 on:** January 30, 2011, 05:33:13 PM »

I stand corrected on the manufacturer. It is indeed "MADA" as in Maschinenfabrik G.DANGER.g.m.b.h
(hence the hint of "Watch out! Be Careful!")

however this model actually has a name.

Locked for Paul for ....lets say 2 hours.

Give the internet a twirl.

DynaMike · « **Reply #16 on:** January 30, 2011, 05:33:43 PM »

I'd agree with PJ, in my book where I found his picture it is called Mada (= Maschinenfabrik G. Danger GmbH from Säckingen) "***" from 1947...

Edit: Sorry I posted without reading the last comment, therefore I edited the name...

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #17 on:** January 30, 2011, 05:36:34 PM »

Well, I've listed 2 models, the Autino and the Libelle...this should be the 3-wheeler Autino (thank you DynaMike and Wikipedia)

microcars · « **Reply #18 on:** January 30, 2011, 05:42:25 PM »

Bravo!
I was just about to step out for a couple of hours.

in addition to the point, here is your reward:

Thank you microcars, I really enjoy your micro-puzzles!

DynaMike · « **Reply #20 on:** January 30, 2011, 05:50:39 PM »

"Beine sind für die Bedienung nicht erforderlich"... = you don't need to have leggs to handle this vehicle...

microcars · « **Reply #21 on:** January 30, 2011, 05:52:38 PM »

a bit of trivia:
as far as I know, these images I have posted came directly from a collection that was compiled by Walter Zeichner (author of Kleinwagen International)
I don't know why he did not use the "Autino" model name in the book if he had this material for reference.

should I post the full scans of the front and back of the brochure?

Wendax · « **Reply #22 on:** January 30, 2011, 05:53:48 PM »

Yes, please!

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #23 on:** January 30, 2011, 05:55:22 PM »

Yes, Please!
