The Haris brothers were cheaters, they forged documents, cars etc.

And I was looking for that photo, but couldn't find it quickly - thanks nicanary

C.C. Friese was not a coachbuilder, he's got nothing to do with this car. He was an Austrian, who worked at MÁG for a brief period of time, but he was definitely not a coachbuilder. And I like the Magomobil Sport designation better

Hehe, nicely found.

The date should be 1927, not 1929. Otherwise great :)

And a little story at the end: after some twists and turns the Hungarian Institute for Transport Sciences is going to publish an essay from me in Hungarian later this year, which will ruffle some feathers and raise eyebrows. Basically I put together an essay showing what sources were used in the last 60 years by other writers and researchers of Hungarian motoring and how they were wrong in many, many, many cases.
