This is presently on ebay and, conveniently, the viewable bits are useful.
It appears to show a contemporary, newish car, but interesting that it has radius arm lowering brackets and a very reverse camber front spring. Is it perhaps later, and a special, or were Sports created like this in Germany?
Incidentally, with recent discussion about the NZ coachbuilders drawings, the Sports EA drawing of 5.'30 and then that of the '65' of three years later both show beautifully fashioned reverse camber rear springs curving up to the attachment point. This is augmented by the roadtest report for the EA Sports mentioning the reverse camber springing front AND rear.
And yet we appear to have precious few examples of such springs coming off sports chassis cars being restored. Has anyone got any contemporary 30s images where the rear springing supports what the drawings purport to show... or were the drawings - and the PR for the roadtest editors - all show?
just noticed, text of ad suggests "1937, Linz" for dating...
