German?

Wendax · « **Reply #6 on:** July 15, 2012, 08:00:40 AM »

Surprise, surprise! Yes!

Allemano · « **Reply #7 on:** July 15, 2012, 08:11:32 AM »

Related to Zoller?

Wendax · « **Reply #8 on:** July 15, 2012, 08:20:50 AM »

Yes, very close, but I don't have it as a Zoller. Locked for you.

Allemano · « **Reply #9 on:** July 15, 2012, 08:35:08 AM »

Was it built after the decease of Arnold Zoller?

Wendax · « **Reply #10 on:** July 15, 2012, 08:40:47 AM »

No, I don't think so. Perhaps Zoller is on the photo, too.

the still-born DKW-Rennwagen project?

Wendax · « **Reply #12 on:** July 15, 2012, 09:17:26 AM »

It is DKW based. I'm looking for a name related to Zoller and DKW, and not unknown at AutoPuzzles.

Röhr?

There is a photo of this car in Georgano's "Encyclopedia of Motor Sport" where it is described as a 1935 Zoller 1.5-litre racing car. Apparently Gerhard Macher tried to carry on with the development of the car after Arnold Zoller's death.
Perhaps Macher is the name you're looking for?

Wendax · « **Reply #18 on:** August 09, 2012, 05:18:29 AM »

Yes, Gerhard Macher is the name I was looking for. But I don't think that this puzzle car is the Zoller racing car. We had that before: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=8756.0
This one is DKW-based. If you can supply the right year, we have all parts together to call this one solved. Locked for you.

woodinsight · « **Reply #19 on:** August 09, 2012, 05:38:48 AM »

Yes, of course you're right - this is not the Zoller rennwagen.
I have to admit I didn't study the photo properly....

As to the year, I believe the car was racing in 1933 but may have been built a year earlier.

Wendax · « **Reply #20 on:** August 09, 2012, 05:47:23 AM »

Yes. I'm quite sure this is Gerhard Macher's DKW-based racecar with Zoller compressor, he raced in 1933. The car was supposedly nicknamed "Trotzkopf".

One more point for you.
