Most of my books are boxed up right now anyway.

Before I launch into an all-out web search, do you know if it can be found online?

Staatsarchiv Hamburg holds several papers related to Umba Auto. I am trying to get copies of those.

Oh, and Wendax, this was a great idea - this magazine had lots of interesting articles on one-off or unknown cars over the years. But no, I will not post those as puzzles :)
