Méray „1 tonnás teherautó“ (1 ton lorry) from 1933

[pnegyesi]

It is your point, but it is from 1934 and it is technically not a Méray as it was partly developed by Magyar Acélárugyár rt (Hungarian Factory for Steel Goods) and it was also manufactured by them. It was equipped with a radial engine and about 9 were made with truck bodies and one chassis featured a passenger car body.
In the first edition of my book on Méray there was just a grainy photo of this elusive prototype passenger car, but now I have four nice pictures of it. The 2nd edition will be out in October (fingers crossed)

Is it the same as the Méray tehertaxi ?

[pnegyesi]

The Méray Motorkerékpárgyár (Méray Motorcycle factory) was not a factory after 1926 - it only sold the Méray motorcycles. In 1929 it added a new service: freight transporting. This was called the tehertaxi (shipping goods). Self-developed motorcycle-derived three-wheelers were employed. This truck was created to replace those, but it did not happen.
