    Identify this car please

    Could anyone help me identify the make and/or model of this car? I haven't had much luck. Thanks.

    It's possible. The grill kind of matches something like that. But I'm not sure what that compass-like emblem is on the hood. I'm assuming it is Italian.

    It is definitely Veritas, small German make from late 1940s - early 1950s.
    I'll add a picture of 1948 Veritas RS. It is quitesimilar but not exactly.
    Cheers!

    Veritas used BMW engines.

    This is another veritas, just compare the badge of this car with the one in the original picture

    Yes, without doubt this is a Veritas, it might be the Veritas Comet S, but I am not sure. I will have to check on it

    Henk, your car is a Veritas, but the RS one in particular. 36 were made (of which the first three cars had an electron body, the rest an aluminium one). It was built around a tubular frame, housing a tuned BMW 328 engine. It was built in '48 and '49. Hope this information is of any help.
