a Hanomag 2/10 PS (two taxable / ten brake horsepower), 1924-28
With 59 mpg it was the world's most fuel efficient mass-production car between the two World Wars due to the low-friction one-cylinder engine and its very light weight
But everything can be improved for racing, so someone made a wicker body
As the saying went: "Ein bisschen Bleck, ein bisschen Lack, und fertig ist der Hanomag2. ("A bit of plate, a bit of laquer, and the Hanomag is finished"). It was also affectionally known as the 'Kommisbrot' (army bread) because it looked like a loaf of - well - army bread.
