heinkelgirl ◊ 2010-04-15 20:47	i went on 3wheelers.com. This looks like a 1930 Adler Maybug.
Barrett ◊ 2010-04-16 08:18	I disagree, the adler has much larger wheels and a less sculptured front cowel. The size of the wheels of this suggest late 40s - early 50s, the Maybug only lasted till '36. Still none the wiser to what it actually is though....
Barrett ◊ 2010-04-30 10:49	Hey, I found out what this one is! But i'm going to hold off for a while on identifying it as it'll make a great autopuzzle! Sorry guys!
Barrett ◊ 2010-05-14 09:02	Okay, i'll put you out of your misery now! This is a Meyra 55 from 1950 http://www.cartype.com/pics/2832/full/meyra_55_roadster_53.jpg

Ingo ◊ 2010-05-14 20:31	All the vehicles, Meyra ad made, were for handicapped people, war-veterans an so. In the 50ies they had some with little two-stroke-engines (as that one above), later on -until today- they have reduced their range on wheelchairs (http://www.meyra.de/)
