Who knows this little race car?

Original make, engine displacement and driver for one point.

prewar German?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #3 on:** November 12, 2013, 04:36:03 PM »

The photo was made very shortly after the war.

The car´s chassis is prewar, but I think the modified bodywork came later.

Fiat Topolino?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #5 on:** November 13, 2013, 12:47:26 PM »

It is indeed a Fiat chassis, probably a Topolino, but with a bigger engine.

Fiat 1100 engine?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #7 on:** November 23, 2013, 07:13:43 AM »

Yes, I suppose this.

Driven by Josef Kulzer?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #9 on:** November 25, 2013, 11:54:54 AM »

No, I have a different name.

I suppose it's a NSU-Fiat 500 base, perhaps with a larger engine. Is it pictured at Nurburgring?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #12 on:** November 25, 2013, 02:40:13 PM »

Most possibly you´re correct with the chassis guess.

But this is not the Nürburgring.

Hockenheim?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #14 on:** November 25, 2013, 03:30:56 PM »

Right!

driven by Emil Vorster in 1947?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #16 on:** November 25, 2013, 07:13:27 PM »

Hockenheimring - yes.

1947 - yes.

But it is not Vorster...

Nothelfer?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #18 on:** November 26, 2013, 01:48:48 AM »

Bam!

That´s him!

so, who gain the point?

D-type · « **Reply #20 on:** November 26, 2013, 06:11:55 AM »

Does it matter? The usual way is to award the point to whoever puts the final piece of the jigsaw in place. Sometimes one person does 90% of the work and someone else provides the final 10% and the puzzle setter decides to award a second point recognising the 90% effort.

It's up to grobmotorix.

grobmotorix · « **Reply #21 on:** November 26, 2013, 12:17:04 PM »

Well, the hardest bit to find was the name of the driver/car.
So, targhediferro contributed the last and essential part to this puzzle and it is his point.
