A German special or eigenbau with a non-German base. Based on a Lancia?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #7 on:** December 03, 2013, 01:31:38 AM »

Not Lancia.

The basis make is not italian.

NSU-Fiat base?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #11 on:** December 05, 2013, 07:26:30 PM »

Very good guess.

You´re onto something.

But it was not a german-italian company.

Ford base?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #13 on:** December 08, 2013, 02:53:55 AM »

Yes!

That´s what I meant.

The basis car has been built/developed in the USA first.

And then it was built in Germany, too.

tha basis car was in both side of the ocean?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #15 on:** December 19, 2013, 11:30:47 PM »

No, but the basis car was a (US-)Ford, built in Germany.

The conversion of this stock version was done completely in Germany.

It surely is a Ford V8. Was it built for "2000 km durch Deutschland"?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #18 on:** January 04, 2014, 07:30:52 AM »

Ford V8 as a basis car is correct.

However it did not join the "2000km durch Deutschland" to my best knowledge.

To help a bit:

itstarted at another big racing event in 1937...

Liège-Rome-Liège?

Not this big, geographically seen.

Eifelrennen?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #22 on:** January 04, 2014, 08:06:47 AM »

No.

More like a rallye like the 2000km.

Wendax · « **Reply #23 on:** January 04, 2014, 08:12:14 AM »

Did the race take place in Germany?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #24 on:** January 04, 2014, 08:28:35 AM »

But I think it was in any case A and most possibly D...
