Lindcar from about 1922?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #13 on:** September 11, 2013, 02:47:39 PM »

It is not a Lindcar and not from Berlin.

But I can say that it was produced by one of the better known companies...

Koco made by Kleinauto- und Motorenwerke Koch & Co.

grade 1921?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #16 on:** September 11, 2013, 03:24:29 PM »

No and no - the make is as known as Grade, I would suggest.

It is an Apollo 4/14 PS „Zweisitzer in Luxus-Sportausführung“.

Killer!

Unbelievable! My huge respect!

BTW: is it all in your head or do you have to search your books for puzzles like these? (Lipsia, Freia etc etc)

Wendax · « **Reply #21 on:** September 11, 2013, 04:48:30 PM »

I recognized the Freia, because I knew that this very car, an East German survivor, was pictured in a book of mine. And I knew that I had seen the Lipsia photo in the same book. I was quite sure about the RWN without looking, but I confirmed it by consulting the Metternich. I knew I had seen the high rise VW in one book about special bodied VWs. The Apollo was a lucky find, as this very picture is shown in another book I often use when looking for prewar German small scale manufacturers. No witchcraft involved.

This picture, taken at the 1925 Hainbergrennen in Göttingen, shows an Apollo, most probably a 4/14 PS.

Another Apollo 4/14 PS with larger bodywork raced:

I had the rear view in my "unidentified" files for quite a while, but as I came across a front view of the same car, I now know that these two pictures also show the Apollo 4/14 PS Sport-Zweisitzer, unfortunately watermarked.
