No - it's a doppelganger ...

contemporary or later replica/kit ?

Quiller · « **Reply #5 on:** April 23, 2009, 06:59:08 PM »

In actual fact, it predated the BMW 600

I have a feeling that this is a prototype NSU for a small economy car that pre-dated the first Prinz. Fiat help with the project from memory.

Yes you've basically got it, and a point will duly be awarded to you. But do you know the name of the project manager, which is sometimes applied to this design as its moniker?

Well, I know that in full this was called the NSU-Fiat Ratzmann-Wagen, so Ratzmann was the chap behind it I guess?

I've had a copy of the Browning version of the tale on my bookshelf for 65-odd years!

...never liked the story of the Pied Piper I've to admit. It's so scary!
