What's this, who built it and when - for 1 point ?

Brutsch?

SACO · « **Reply #3 on:** July 24, 2012, 06:13:18 AM »

Not French and not Brutsch !

Greetings all, first post here!

Is it a 1949 Bristol 402, built in England by Bristol Aircraft? $:-\$

I have no great confidence in this answer. Still, one must start somewhere.

Hello Zerk, welcome to Autopuzzles ;
regrettably it is not a Bristol !

German?

SACO · « **Reply #7 on:** July 24, 2012, 03:10:23 PM »

Partially !

Experts ?

The front half reminded me a bit of the Peel(?)-bodied 356-lookalike MGA, TYE 83.

German underpinnings (Gutbrod?) or German coachbuilder (Rometsch?)?

SACO · « **Reply #10 on:** July 31, 2012, 09:35:46 AM »

Yes ,German coachbuilder !

Trommel · « **Reply #11 on:** July 31, 2012, 09:52:37 AM »

But not Rometsch?

SACO · « **Reply #12 on:** July 31, 2012, 09:56:05 AM »

Not Rometsch !

Facel · « **Reply #13 on:** July 31, 2012, 11:26:11 AM »

I think it is a Wendler VW Ponton-Cabrio, 1950.

Is that the right answer?

SACO · « **Reply #14 on:** July 31, 2012, 12:02:35 PM »

Yes , Wendler but not a VW !
Locked for you !

That's a shame because I've just found out what it is ...

SACO · « **Reply #16 on:** July 31, 2012, 01:19:48 PM »

Sorry , but you found German coachbuilder and Facel found wendler ; can expect 24 hours ?

Facel · « **Reply #17 on:** July 31, 2012, 05:24:51 PM »

You are right, it is a Wendler MG Ponton-cabriolet, 1952

SACO · « **Reply #18 on:** August 01, 2012, 02:01:51 AM »

Facel · « **Reply #21 on:** August 01, 2012, 12:48:16 PM »

I would say the same, Midget TD but my source said 1952...

Trommel · « **Reply #22 on:** August 01, 2012, 02:34:05 PM »

1951 on the only decent picture I've found (as per the puzzle).

Built for the MG dealer Mölders from Heidelberg, known as a racing driver.
We had one of his specials here before:
