Semi-aerodynamic.

For one point, please respond and identify car and coachbuilder.

The colour signals, that this racer should be of German origin?

Partially

German body - French chassis

No Salmson - No Amilcar

B.N.C. ?

Wendax · « **Reply #17 on:** September 16, 2020, 05:39:07 AM »

German body on a French chassis, but not BNC.

RABAG-Bugatti type 22?

Wendax · « **Reply #19 on:** September 16, 2020, 08:41:17 AM »

My source just told me that it was a Bugatti 22, but I can't rule out that it might have been a Rabag-Bugatti.

FrontMan · « **Reply #20 on:** September 16, 2020, 04:56:52 PM »

Apparently this vehicle has survived! It became known as the "AVUSBUGATTI" after it had been clothed with this body by J.W. Utermohle of Koln.

Wendax · « **Reply #21 on:** September 17, 2020, 05:32:18 AM »

The surviving "Avusbugatti" surely has a different, much simpler bodywork. Maybe it is the same chassis. But you are right that the puzzle car is a Bugatti 22 with coachwork by Utermöhle. The Cologne branch of Utermöhle already went bankrupt in 1913, so this must have been done by the Hildesheim branch of Utermöhle.

....thanks for the clarification!

knewit · « **Reply #23 on:** September 18, 2020, 02:19:11 AM »

Never heard of that car or seen in action with this special body. Any ideas who drove that in her active times ?

Wendax · « **Reply #24 on:** September 18, 2020, 03:08:15 AM »

Unfortunately not. I just came across this picture in the sales ad for the "Avusbugatti" special.
