Although I can't find any pictures, I understand Mowag built some three wheelers.  Might this be a Mowag?

I have to admit I didn't know the manufacturer before. But after searching a bit I found many vehicles built by that company.

Is this vehicle by a firm normally thought of as a coachbuilder?  I am thinking particularly of Seitz (Emmishofen) which was reformed into Mowag.

So many, too many, hours invested in this one but I cannot give up.

I think 4popoid and I are using the same data bases and it does not seem to be working.

Is it fair to ask if the manufacturer of this vehicle is not, in fact, a known "manufacturer of brand name marques" but a coachbuilder of vehicles on some other chassis.

Seitz is correct!

Now give me the complete name of the company, a possible year and the type of drive and the point is yours!

LOCKED for 4popoid

Anything that I can find on Seitz is pretty sketchy, but here is what I have:

Seitz & Cie. AG (founded in 1850) was located in Kreuzlingen (Emmishofen before 1928), Switzerland (near the German border).  After 100 years in existence, the firm merged with MOWAG AG, Kreuzlingen (founded in 1946), in 1951, to become MOWAG Seitz & Ruf AG, which, in 1954, became MOWAG Motorwagenfabrik AG.  The company is currently known as General Dynamics European Land Systems - Mowag GmbH.

I haven't been able to locate any information on the puzzle car, but I did determine that Seitz had produced a number of electric drive vehicles, so I'm guessing that this vehicle may be an electric drive, although I understand that Seitz produced some serial hybrids, so this might have been an electric drive with a diesel (Seitz made an under floor model), or gasoline, engine to drive a generator. 

As for a date, I can only speculate, based on cab style, that it is from the 1940's.

Good enough for me! :)

I have it as 1942 Elektroroller by Seitz & Co. (Kreuzlingen/CH).

Well done and another point for you!
