Who knows the builder of this car?

I do only know his name and a year - any additional information would be highly appreciated.

BSA Scout, with a French body?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #4 on:** November 09, 2016, 12:05:12 PM »

BSA Scout - No.
This car is some years older than 1935, so it can not be a BSA Scout...

French bodywork - Yes.

Rosengart?

I do not know - it would be your task to convince me...

Was the picture sourced from a contemporary Germany magazine?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #13 on:** June 12, 2017, 12:01:18 PM »

I saw this picture in American, German and Austrian contemporary magazines - the guy obviously did professional PR back then...

Could it be a Bunau-Varilla design?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #15 on:** September 13, 2017, 08:05:34 AM »

Sure, however I do not know - if you could prove it...

barrett · « **Reply #16 on:** September 13, 2017, 08:51:26 AM »

So that's not the name you have?

I only know Bunau-Varilla patented at least one type of coachwork where the entire rear section lifted to allow easy access. I only know of one example built, on a Bugatti, which obviously isn't this, but thought it could be an improvement of that design.

Is the name you have known, at all, in the automotive field?

I also want this toi be solved - so I will help a bit:

the first name of the builder/presenter was Leo

pnegyesi · « **Reply #18 on:** March 25, 2018, 11:34:01 AM »

Leo Levy?
