Just the other day I was saying to myself...   Gesundheit!

...that's an easy one. TVR Tuscan, I believe. Similar to what John Travolta drove in the movie "Swordfish" Replies to this message: andys120 (May 09, 2005 2:06 pm)

Similar to what John Travolta drove in the movie "Swordfish"   All right Mr. know -it-all it's a Tuscan2, which distinguishes it from the original TVR Tuscan of the 60s.=>     My cousin owned the Triumph 6 powered version (TVR 2500M) which was an absolute blast to drive.

Cool, I was close. IIRC, that DKW/Saschenring was also front wheel drive, which is decent prewar technology.   And on that note, a face even a mother couldn't love   Replies to this message: andys120 (May 09, 2005 2:45 pm)

hmmm...I dunno....looks very Germanic to me, especially the front fenders and headlight surrounds and hub caps....also a very weird car....okay, so Germanic and weird....this is starting to sound East German again, or maybe Scandanavian--very strang grille badge, too. Not a "normal" car from a "normal" country, I'm sure.

Close enough...it's an EMW as was mentioned with the earlier guess I made. I think they have an interesting history....IIRC, after the war BMW's Munich area facilities were heavily damaged, and didn't produce many cars before 1950. But their Eisenach factory, in what became the DDR, fared much better, and resumed production soon after the war. It actually made copycat BMW cars until the early 50s, when BMW took action. The cars were renamed EMW, and the grille and logo changed. I think the company later made the Wartburg too.
