yes a one-off car built by the Méray motorcycle company, featuring a 1.1-litre Blackburne engine. Was sold to the Budapest Electric Company in 1929. Nicely found

My old copy of Georgano says Méray made cars from 1928 to 1932 and that they were 3-wheelers. I guess this car is something they tried before that?

This was the three-wheeler, based on their delivery van:

This was an earlier experiment, a one-off.
