That's true but this car was not built between 1927-1931.
I'll keep it locked for you for the year.

Yes, that's correct. One more point for you.
In 1934 Neander began to make the Pionier, a tandem 2-seater with an aluminium body powered by a front-mounted 1000cc JAP 2-cylinder engine driving the front wheels without the need for a differential.

Sorry to correct you, but this one is not a Pionier.

It is right that the first Pionier was built in 1934. Its public presentation was in 1935. It featured a 600 cc Küchen engine.

The pictured car is the Neumann-Neander Fahrmaschine built in 1938 for Gottfried Vollmer as a racing car. It was powered with a 1000 cc JAP engine producing 70 hp. After a crash at Schotten in 1938 the plywood body was replaced by a more conventional aluminium monoposto body built by Hebmüller, which could be seen as puzzle car #13 in a group puzzle:

Well it just proves that many (normally reliable) book sources are often wrong.
The puzzle car picture comes from Georgano's Beaulieu Encyclopedia and is attributed to the National Motor Museum.

Thanks for pointing that out Wendax and I'll alter the title.
I'll also leave the point I gave to delorean as he probably found an erroneous source also.

As usual, just additional information  ;)

I got my information from the book "Neander - Ernst Neumann-Neander und seine Fahrmaschinen" by Thomas Trapp, 140 pages and loads of pictures just about N2's cars. He also wrote a similar book about the Neander motorbikes.

That's what I like about this site, you come across so many new interesting sources and start to learn a new language at the same time!

Though he liked to call them "Volkswagen" as well.

I don't have to many books, but I found my info in a book called 'Weird Cars' (the one with the Helica on the cover). I know a lot of carnames out of my head, but it's the year of construction that I often have to look up, either in books or on the net. In my book it said 1934 as the year of build, so that was the answer I have ...
