No

~~Peter Bauer?~~
Disregard that last guess it was wide of the mark.
Let's try Vetter?

Wendax · « **Reply #64 on:** August 06, 2012, 04:49:16 PM »

No, neither Bauer nor Vetter, geographically closer to Wanderer

woodinsight · « **Reply #65 on:** August 06, 2012, 05:04:47 PM »

Without referring to the geographical location - Ludewig?

Hornig?

Wendax · « **Reply #70 on:** August 07, 2012, 03:56:04 AM »

Yes, it is a 1933 Wanderer W22 with a Hornig body. To obtain the point you just have to tell me what the car was used for which will lead to the body designation. Otto's picture in Reply #42 wil be helpful. Locked for you.

woodinsight · « **Reply #71 on:** August 07, 2012, 08:13:13 AM »

Was it used in Alpine Trials (Alpenfahrt) covering c.20,000km?

Wendax · « **Reply #72 on:** August 07, 2012, 01:17:14 PM »

Yes, it was used for long-distance rallyes like the Alpenfahrt. I don't want to torture you anymore. I was looking for the "Geländesport" designation. Six W22 Geländesport were built: three in 1933 and three in 1934. They only differ slightly. In fact, the one Otto posted is the 1933 version with doorhandles and a grill with less bars than the 1934 version from the puzzle picture. I found it quite amazing to find a rallye car as staffage for a romantic postcard. Can you imagine something like that with, let's say, a Metro 6R4 or an Audi Sport quattro S1?

One more point for you.

Thanks Wendax.
I did think of adding 'Gelandesport' (with umlaut) but thought Alpenfahrt was more important.....
I also learnt something new and interesting today through your puzzle.
