Over the past few months I've been coming across some pictures of cars unknown to me, but unfortunately there weren't even any descriptions coming along with them. So don't ask me anything about these cars. I don't know what they are. The only thing they have in common is that probably they all are postwar cars from Germany or Austria.

Any proven identification is worth at least one point. Earned points will be awarded immediately. Have fun!

I should have known that one, having seen the colorized pictures at MrScharroo's picture account.
One point for you.

One more postwar enigma added (#9).

I wonder if #3 could be another variation on the built-from-plans Pilot as seen here?

I think it rather unprobable that those plans were known in post-WW II Germany.

One more postwar enigma added (#10) and, yes, I know where the door originates from.

Saved #9 for a future puzzle until I've found it here again...

Do you know anything about it except where the picture was taken?

Allemano · « **Reply #11 on:** September 04, 2012, 07:45:04 AM »

Nothing except we both know from that internet source...

Wendax · « **Reply #12 on:** September 14, 2012, 01:03:40 PM »

Enigma #11 added

Carnut · « **Reply #13 on:** September 20, 2012, 12:21:00 PM »

I have no. 3 as being called a 'Europa' but I can't remember off-hand where I found it.
Here are a couple of pictures of it below.
I'll have a look into it tomorrow!

Does No6 wears an Austrian number plate?

Do you have any other view available?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #18 on:** October 22, 2012, 05:39:26 AM »

what is the first letter of the Austrian number plate?

Wendax · « **Reply #19 on:** October 22, 2012, 05:45:14 AM »

It was W for Vienna.

Yes

pnegyesi · « **Reply #21 on:** October 24, 2012, 01:44:04 PM »

I see, then it is not the one I had in mind

pnegyesi · « **Reply #22 on:** November 05, 2012, 04:09:21 AM »

Does this look like your No6?

Wendax · « **Reply #23 on:** November 05, 2012, 04:12:15 AM »

It looks like another car to me, but you should post it as a puzzle. It surely is obscure.

Your pic no11 just popped up in Austro Classic as an unknown
