Solved: Wendax 345 - Umba 4/14 PS

I think this is a tough one. The picture is from a period magazine. I haven't found anything about this car anywhere else, but perhaps you have.

For one point, please respond and identify this car.

Is it based on a Grade?

In fact, I don't know. In the contemporary article there is no connection mentioned. But for sure it was inspired by the Grade.

What a sweet rear enginged (german?) cycle car oddity.

My first thought was Grade, too, of course, but there were myriads of small companies in the late 1910īs and 1920īs.

Was the company situated in or ca.50km around Berlin?

It is German, but it was produced more than 50 km away from Berlin.

Here's a part of a contemporary ad. Just as if it was built to be a puzzle car  ;D

I don't know as I only have a contemporary source and couldn't find it mentioned anywhere else. My guess would be that it only existed for a very short time.
