AFM Streamline of 1948
I'd guess it is Alexander von Falkenhausen in the cockpit

[Allemano]

It's not him though it's indeed an AFM streamliner!
Give you 12h to find the right name! (in fact you won't need more than five minutes!)

[woodinsight]

Emil Vorster?

[Allemano]

You're veeery close now! My source reports that it's most likely someone else.

[woodinsight]

Zoot alors!
Give me a little time to dig further!

[Allemano]

okay I give you another 12h.

[woodinsight]

Gunter or Gustav Nonninger?

[Allemano]

Yes, I think it's him!

[Allemano]

Quote: "[...] Note the extended exhaust pipe at the side - according to Nonninger this had to be done after the car failed scrutineering, and therefore at night Nonningers bunch "transferred" a fallpipe from a house in the Hockenheim suburbs [...]"

Verrry interesting and amusing postscript!

15 years later I may have some relevant news about this car:
This German magazine wrote it was an MG-based AFM at Hockenheim in 1948.
Can anybody confirm this?

[Wendax]

Vorster drove a MG racecar in 1947 before he changed to the Fiat-powered AFM. Maybe the newspaper kept the habit of assuming Vorster always drove MG-engined cars. The "Das Auto" magazine 5/1948 clearly states that it is Fiat-powered.
