Auto-Union Project: The Moronic Dross that Passes for Journalism
http://heinkelscooter.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-moronic-dross-that-passes-for.html
Sunday, July 19, 2015. The Moronic Dross that Passes for Journalism. There are some great legends that attach to cars and then there are legends that are so moronically stupid you wonder how anyone can honestly believe them. Somehow it seems like the moronic legends are the ones that keep getting repeated ad-nauseum. Take for instance the worn out Tatra canard, recently repeated with gusto by Rupert Hawksley of the Telegraph.co.uk. The car that destroyed Nazis". I mean, really? Than in the war? These hig...

Auto-Union Project: Das Kleine Wunder - the story of a remarkable engine
http://heinkelscooter.blogspot.com/2010/04/das-kleine-wunder-story-of-remarkable.html
Thursday, April 22, 2010. Das Kleine Wunder - the story of a remarkable engine. An DKW bicycle fitted with a DKW detachable engine. The Lomos was a great improvement over the Golem, not just in name. Large wheels added to stability. The placement of the engine under the seat was also a vast improvement. Although very old fashioned, many Lomos' continued to be ridden well into the 1930s. Nothing demonstrates the simplicity of DKW's two stroke engines more that their own 1939 DKW-Front brochure. The di...

Auto-Union Project: Standard Superior
http://heinkelscooter.blogspot.com/2015/07/standard-superior.html
Friday, July 31, 2015. The Slaby-Beringer of 1930 was typical of cyclecar of the period, being little more than a plywood box body on bicycle wheels. These little wooden cars were either powered by an electric motor or a two-stroke motor cycle engine. The example in the picture above is powered by a DKW single cylinder two-stroke mounted at the back. The Trojan Utility car was simplicity itself and came as a 3 door soft top, 4 door sedan and a utility/delivery van. The rolling chassis in the workshop....

Wednesday, December 31, 2014. Percy Markham's Antique Auto Museum. I had heard about the museum but never saw it. I only ever saw the cars when they were in the Perth Museum. However, a witness to those times, Andrew Brownell, sent me these photos from the late 1960s. He writes:. I hope that you find these of interest and would be pleased to assist you with identification of others if you need. Andrew and the Morris Cowley, Percy's first vintage car. Rolls-Royce Club of WA day. 2 The Percy Markham Collec...

Auto-Union Project: April 2015

Tuesday, April 21, 2015. History of the Karmann Ghia. 60th Anniversary of the Volkswagen Karmann Ghia. This year marks the 60th anniversary of the release of the Volkswagen Karmann Ghia. The story of how the iconic little VW roadster came into existence is shrouded in myth and mystery and unfortunately, as the principles in the story are no longer with us, we will never be able to define ‘the truth’ of the tale. The tail lights and engine deck-lid vents are different too. Wilhelm Karmann and Luigi Segre ...
