It reminds me of the Mölders-MG. Is it another one of Mölders' cars?

Is it one of the other cars of the Renngemeinschaft Offenburg, driven by Farré, Assenheimer, Wiswedel, Mall  or Spindler?

Nurnberger must have been a very small man. The MG Midget cars of that era (PA/PB/TA etc.) were very small cars and I think that's why previous guesses were along the lines of Delahaye and Delage. In fact it looks very similar in style and size to a Talbot-Lago T150C.

It's not until you look at the man on the left in the raincoat that you realise the scale correctly. Maybe it's all to do with the angle of the camera.
