Just to show that my answers were not shots in the dark...Phanomobil and Cyklonette were very very similar to quiz car...It's astonishing that almost three cars like that have been built.

Targhediferro, I agree with you. Phänomobil and Cyklonette were good guesses, I should have said that. The cruel part of AutoPuzzles is that those were already puzzled years ago. So we have to deal with one of the many contemporary Cyklonette copies. Good luck!

So, Brennaborette had a similar body, but I believe it had rear engine; Adler Autoette has been the target of a previous quiz,...I try with BEF, 1908.

Neither of those.
The BEF had an electric engine: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=6358.msg145152#msg145152

Yes, it is the Triomobil, built from 1903 to 1909 by Otto Spiess in Berlin-Spandau. He went bankrupt in 1908, but managed to reappear in 1909 as managing director of the company Günther & Co. which continued the Triomobil manufacturing. But the adventure ended after another six months. The attached ad must be from 1909, after Günther & Co. failed. Judging by the handwriting Otto Spiess tried to assemble the last Triomobil from leftover parts.

Well done, one more point for you.
