Yes, it is German.

It's not a Theis, isn't it?

Wendax · « **Reply #12 on:** March 25, 2011, 05:33:36 AM »

Yes, you're right. It isn't a Theis. ~~As I recall, the Theis had a single front wheel.~~

Never mind, but the Theis had the same wheel configuration.

Tamag?

Wendax · « **Reply #15 on:** March 25, 2011, 05:39:59 AM »

I am really impressed. I thought this puzzle to last longer. Tell me the model name and the point is yours. Locked for you, of course.

pnegyesi · « **Reply #16 on:** March 25, 2011, 05:41:33 AM »

Tamag Zepp by E.W. Taschner GmbH in Krefeld, 1933

Wendax · « **Reply #17 on:** March 25, 2011, 05:43:25 AM »

That's the correct answer, congratulations. Not many pictures of this car around. It was only a prototype, the intended production never started.

I looked up the Theis over the week-end. You're right, of course. Got this mixed up in my memory $:-\$

Anything to do with the Tamag in your 3-wheel puzzle?

Wendax · « **Reply #20 on:** March 28, 2011, 05:31:33 AM »

Yes, it is the same company. It was their ill-fated attempt to expand from the delivery van market to the small car market. Even bigger companies as Tempo failed to achieve that goal. Goliath however managed to take that step.

Wendax · « **Reply #21 on:** March 29, 2011, 02:19:35 PM »

Some additional information:

The Tamag company name was Ernst Wilhelm Taschner GmbH in Krefeld, Neuer Weg 20/40. In 1932 Taschner started building the Tamag Dreirad-Schnellieferwagen (Three wheel express van) similar to those offered by Framo, Manderbach and OD. Besides the usual van and pickup bodies he offered - without success - a combination car, which could be converted into a van, and a small sedan. The plan to build a two-seater cyclecar was never realized. In 1933, the Tamag Zepp was introduced. But Taschner didn't have enough money to develop the ambitious Zepp towards series production. The Zepp featured a swing axle, front wheel drive and wheel hubs with reduction and freewheeling. Tamag production ended in 1934.
