My old puzzle 225 was already posted in the Rookie section, so here comes a new one.

For one point, please respond and identify this car.

Well it seems to be a special 12/70 Sportwagen, as used on AVUS

I guess this is the same car.
The subtitle says that it shows the known driver and constructor Kurt Volkhart driving his Steiger race car at the 1922 Eifelrennen.
 Added also a piece from an old ad.

The 11PS (tax HP) car raced in the 10-14PS class back then.

Another source claims this was a 10/50PS Steiger...

I'd no idea that an Eifelrennen was held before the 'Ring was built and it must have been held on public roads (closed, one hopes).
Must have been exciting.
