Skoda ?

there are various bits in the car, but there was no Skoda. And yes, there were some VW Beetle bits in the suspension, but the chassis, engine came from other cars

That short bonnet makes me think that the engine is at the front, and therefore probably front wheel drive. The wheels however are quite large and hard to pin down. Is it anything to do with Trabant or something else from eastern Europe?

as for the engine: nothing to do with Trabant or any other car from the CEE region

Pity I was going for Aero Minor next. Was the car made in West Germany - it appears to be left hand drive.

pnegyesi · « **Reply #20 on:** July 21, 2016, 11:57:58 PM »

yes, the car was made in West Germany

I cannot place those wheels, but typically that sort of perforated wheel was found on British cars. Is there a British connection with the engine or drivetrain?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #22 on:** July 24, 2016, 12:52:02 PM »

no, no connection that I am aware of

I assume that because it's not EMW, then it's also not BMW-engined?

it's not BMW engined
