Post by: mekubb on November 01, 2012, 11:25:47 AM: How about a BMW Eigenbau ? Or Veritas-BMW ? Picture looks from a later date than 30's, so I guess 1950-1955 ?

Right time frame, but I would not call it 'Eigenbau'.

Post by: pnegyesi on November 11, 2012, 10:47:08 AM: The place is Stadtparkrennen "Rund um das Scheibenholz", Leipzig, 1952.
The car is most probably the Mitteldeutsches Autohaus built BMW 328 based special

I agree, not only "most probably", but exactly. The car is pictured in here: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=12590.0 I don't know at which event it was photographed there, but it has starting number 108.

It surely is. I just found a bunch of pictures recently and this was one of them. I didn't find it in W. Melenk's book, so, I asked the author if he knows the car. Besite many interisting facts he replied it surely is featured in "Meister des Sports" :bag: and I had to face this puzzle is rather easy.. ;D
