Do you want to know more than this?

Paul Jaray · October 25, 2010, 03:15:29 PM

I knew it was just a matter of time...but I found few more details for this one: name of the builder and chassis, plus another pic.

guido66 · October 25, 2010, 03:27:25 PM

Is the builder indeed from Germany?

Paul Jaray · October 25, 2010, 03:32:20 PM

Yes, He is.

Another view...(the donor car should be recognizeable...)

It looks like an Adler. Is there any info available on the Net beside the 1936 article already mentioned?

Paul Jaray · November 28, 2010, 04:51:03 AM

It is an Adler.
I don't know if there is something more on the net, I'll have to check.

"a German built eight-wheeled 1.7 litre Adler built by Berlin engineer Gotthard Rimek"

Paul Jaray · November 28, 2010, 11:12:20 AM

...and we have a winner!

I didn't know it was a Super Trumpf (I thought it was a bigger Diplomat)...well done!

Another photo (note that the designer/builder name is spelled differently and I believe wrongly).

Just another case of not finding the repost by a search.........

The spelling of the name in the headline should be corrected as Gotthard Rimmek is correct.

This is his second eight-wheeler. The first one was built around 1925 based on a Brennabor.

One more photo and a description

make, Model and year please

Nothing from the Rookies. Can the Experts do better?

Adler Diplomat, by Ing Rimmek, Berlin, 1935

D-type · January 04, 2025, 05:49:58 PM

Spot on

The picture shows Hans Richter the designer

I'm surprised this particular model hasn't been posed before

sichel · January 04, 2025, 06:35:39 PM

Thank you for puzzle and point.

Wendax · January 04, 2025, 07:20:52 PM

This car has been puzzled before. Its builder was not Hans Richter, but Gotthard Rimmek.

Merged and picture in the first post amended.
