It may have started life in 1934 as a supercharged 2-stroke engined racing-car, designed by Swiss-born Dr.Arnold ZOLLER, who was a 2-stroke specialist and designer of superchargers (see ZOLLER April,1935 advert).
The car ran in German National Events, but ZOLLER died in Janary,1935.
The car was constructed with IFS by transverse-leaf spring and lower-wishbones, and the radiator-cowling appears more prominent.
IF it is the same car, the journey to England, conversion to Porsche-type front suspension, and fitment of highly supercharged (ZOLLER) Riley 9 engine is VERY INTERESTING.
Vehicle constructor employed at Airspeed. All-round torsion-bar suspension. Auto-Union/Porsche style trailing-arm front.
Road-wheels, hubs and brakes RILEY.
16inch alloy ribbed brakes, Lockheed system Weight 475kg; Speed 130MPH |
