Postwar German?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #4 on:** February 13, 2015, 04:44:03 PM »

Puzzle car "B":

Yes.

As it is a one-off special to my best knowledge it may be helpful to find out where and when it raced at first.

The event took place in a big German city and there still (or better again) there is a race with the same name.

Solitude in Stuttgart?

Not in the South...

Stadtparkrennen Hamburg?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #8 on:** February 13, 2015, 06:50:43 PM »

Yes - 1949...

pnegyesi · « **Reply #9 on:** February 14, 2015, 12:49:13 AM »

There were two racing cars categories at that race. I vote for the smaller and try:
Heinrich Schnelle, HFT special

Wendax · « **Reply #10 on:** February 14, 2015, 01:41:39 AM »

It is certainly from the bigger 1100 cc category:

grobmotorix · « **Reply #11 on:** February 14, 2015, 02:27:15 AM »

Oh, wow - another version of my scanned photo!

Yes - this is certainly the car.

But the puzzle car Puzzle car "B": cannot be the HFT, because it is not BMW-engined...

I have changed it into a group puzzle now, because I know almost every car on the group photo

I hope that was O.K. for you all to extend the puzzle.
I wanted to place them all step by step, but now that we have the group photo published...

Car D is the Fiat 1100 driven by Wilhelm Baxmann

Is car C an Adler Trumpf Junior?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #15 on:** February 14, 2015, 03:16:35 AM »

One point for the Baxmann Fiat.

Could be, but I don´t know really.
I only know the driver´s name that also gave birth to that "Eigenbau" and where he was from.

C: Paul Dübbers, AF?
A: Vollmer?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #17 on:** February 14, 2015, 04:17:21 AM »

LOCKED for you!

One of those is an AF, driven by Paul Dübbers, but it is not car C...

And Vollmer is not driving one of those cars.

Two more tries for you!

pnegyesi · « **Reply #18 on:** February 14, 2015, 04:46:22 AM »

Paul Dübbers who is driving Alfred Fegers' Volkswagen-powered AF special is probably A

Is B Fiat-powered?

Is B a certain Mr Warnken in a VW Eigenbau?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #21 on:** February 14, 2015, 05:41:11 AM »

"B" is indeed a VW Eigenbau, but I have a different name.

grobmotorix · « **Reply #22 on:** February 14, 2015, 05:43:39 AM »

Oh, I did not see this one:

I only have a name of the driver/builder of this unique "Eigenbau" and where he came from.

However I do not know any technical deatils despite the engine capacity of 1100ccm.

pnegyesi · « **Reply #23 on:** February 14, 2015, 05:48:52 AM »

Was B driven by Rudolf Trenkel?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #24 on:** February 14, 2015, 05:51:36 AM »

As for C - Stademann from Harzburg?
