Of which swiss car or company did you think?

In the beginning, when cars was the new thing, almost every country in Europe had a car production.

As time got by more and more countries dropped their car production(s)

Right.. some companies also had other technical products in their portfolio, so they cold drop one, or shift priorities. Some were nationalised, some bought by other companies, some bought back .. all this happened to the company which built this car.

A Tatra model?

Catfish · 07-20-20, 04:07 AM

No, not Tatra.
And we need the exact type/model..

Aero 30 Roadster?

Jimbuna · 07-20-20, 04:37 AM

Zbrojovka Z 5 Express?

Catfish · 07-20-20, 04:38 AM

Yes, that's it!
Aero 30 roadster, first version. It had a whopping 30 hp twin stroke engine, which propelled it to 110 km/h in 1934. First Aero with front drive.
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aero_30
Photo at the upper right shows a later 30 with changed grille.

The "Aero" company also built and still builds planes (whence the name), but no cars anymore. 1947 the company was nationalised, somewhere in the 1990ies the US company Boeing bought it, but it was was bought back later. They now produce civilian and military aircraft.

Full photo - the engine is not original, but a similar small two-stroke one lent from a "Wartburg". Spare parts are hard to come by, also lots of aluminium used. So it is very light and real fun to drive..

Over to u crank

Nifty car. Be fun to drive.
