Well my guses is that it's a Wanderer, and doing what you just did I came up with the W52, could also be another one. Pics are some damn small.
The spare wheel on the fender is missing on the mystery car.

i'm no expert on classic euro cars, but that looks kinda Lancia-esque to me...
DasModell

it's a Stoewer

it's british ??

The rear is too short IMO for it to be a Tatra. It could be some sort of Morris, but I really don't know those models apart.

After a little research, Morris Minor is my guess.

is it a Jowett Javelin ?
DasModell

beats me, the car behind looks like a split window beetle, so it must be at an exhibition in the early fifties. How can you be sure that it has a two stroke? It hardly reminds me of the DKW, which was far less square.

The car benhind is definately NOT a split screen beetle, the windows don't meet square.
I'm not sure about the car in front. It reminded me of American, but I can't place any of them :( Is it maybe a Cadillac - I seem to remember there elary grilles were those horizontal large bars ????

Cadillac with a 2 stroke 750cc engine ??
and it looks far to cheap .even for a 50s car to be a Cadillac
it must be a shitty car . with around 100 being built ..
comparing with the DKW . that one is a lot rounder . but could it be a "cousin" . IFA, Wartburg. etc .
btw . on the side of the car i think is written the name of the marque .

yeah, but where did you get the info that it is a two stroke?
DasModell
10-19-2004, 07:58 AM
it's something like a quiz(no prizes or anything :D) . and one thing he mentioned said . 750cc 2 stroke engine
the split window in the back . looks similar to a Bugatti atalante or 57 . but the back doesn't look that big

could be a prototype Zwickau then, or a very early Wartburg
DasModell
10-20-2004, 03:54 AM
the engine is built by ILO . and the car was built in 1950-1951
but i still can't find anything .
and the DKW route is wrong i'm afraid :((
