Sorry for the blurred picture, but there aren't too many around.

For one point, please respond and identify car and year.

Not an Adler, but the size is about right.

Borgward Windspiel 1500, Prototype 1937. Some sources refer to the car as Hansa 1500 Windspiel.

Yes, probably one of the least known Borgwards. Another point for you, congratulations.

Don't cry, we're waiting for your pics. The only other one I know is the frontal view from the Michels book.

A rare ad for the Windspiel. I don't think the convertible was ever built.

I just noticed that there has been a four-window saloon (puzzle and handcoloured picture) and a six-window saloon (other pictures).
