That should be Egon Lechner, not him. Just think, who built these type of cars in other countries?

Viktor János (aka Vittorio Jano)?

you misunderstood my question. The car was built in Hungary, by a Hungarian. Not Jano Vittorio

Odon Uher?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #29 on:** September 02, 2014, 02:58:52 AM »

Now that is a good guess, but no. Ödön Uher, a film maker built a touring car in the early 1920s and a company was organised to manufacture it, but eventually it did not happen.

Kalman Cukor?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #31 on:** September 02, 2014, 06:53:19 AM »

Another good guess, but not him. Kálmán Czukor (sometimes referred as Cukor) built a small car in 1929-1930 powered by a motorcycle engine.

Andor Hajdu?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #33 on:** September 02, 2014, 02:29:12 PM »

Another good guess, but not him either. Andor (or Andras) Hajdu built a cyclecar in 1929

Joseph Ganz?

no, not him

I keep thinking this car is related to MÁG (or perhaps its predecessor Podvinecz & Heisler), but I can't seem to come up with a designer now that Jenô Fejes has been eliminated. Perhaps Vilmos Heisler, although I don't know if he was a designer.

nothing to do with any Hungarian automobile manufacturer. This was a private effort with a foreign engine.

Ferenc and/or János Uhereczky?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #39 on:** September 03, 2014, 10:49:34 PM »

Ferenc Uhereczky was a bicycle racer who built a small car some time during the 2nd half of the 1920s. Not him.

Leo László Baráth?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #41 on:** September 11, 2014, 03:01:37 AM »

another good guess, as Leo Baráth rebodied a car before the 1st WW. But not him

pnegyesi · « **Reply #42 on:** October 26, 2014, 11:54:19 AM »

Soon, this puzzle will be very easily solved. Until then, just think about my clue: who built these types of cars in other countries? What were they sometimes associated with?

George Jendrassik?

Csermely Károly

If I interpret the google-translated nonsense correctly, it was built by him in 1919/1920 using a 265 hp Benz aero engine.

As time goes by, some puzzles become harder, some easier.
