Who knows this car?

One point only for the correct make and driver.

Too hard for the experts...

French?

To shorten the procedure - surprise, surprise: it´s german...

It´s not hard at all - that´s what I thought - now this goes off to the black hole...

The make still exists!

And it is very well known, too...

C´mon, I want this to be solved!

Is it an Opel, with Carl Jörns driving?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #10 on:** August 18, 2012, 12:14:29 PM »

Yes and yes!

LOCKED for you.

Just tell me the correct year and this is your point

Tom_I · « **Reply #11 on:** August 18, 2012, 02:35:42 PM »

Somewhere around 1913?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #12 on:** August 18, 2012, 05:00:24 PM »

Some years earlier.

Tom_I · « **Reply #13 on:** August 18, 2012, 05:24:56 PM »

Around 1910, maybe? From the look of it I wouldn't have thought it would be any older than that, but I could be wrong...

Your point!

faksta · « **Reply #15 on:** August 18, 2012, 05:29:33 PM »

What's the event, do you know?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #16 on:** August 18, 2012, 05:37:35 PM »

It´s been photographed at the "Meeting de Boulogne-sur-Mer" in 1910 and it also won the "Coupe Franco-Belge de Littoral" in 1910:

Thanks!

It is not pictured in Opel's book about Carl Jörns.

That´s why I´ve taken it as a puzzle pic, of course.

I do own this book, too and I´ve had a look at it at first to make it most difficult to solve...
