A dually wheel right hand drive Hanomag 2/10 PS in Berlin, Germany circa 1930's
I've never seen a dually wheel car from this time period before. Also interesting is this is a RHD automobile. A custom build Rally Car?
The Hanomag 2/10 PS is an economy car manufactured by Hanomag from 1924 until 1928. It was one of the first cars with envelope styling. It was affectionately referred to as the Kommissbrot ("Army Bread") due to its identical shape with the usual loaf of bread used by the German army at the time.
With a fuel consumption of 4.0 litres per 100 kilometres (71 mpg‑imp; 59 mpg‑US) 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.
The history of rally cars begins with the 1894 Paris-Rouen race, organized by the Parisian newspaper Le Petit Journal, which is considered the first major automotive competition and attracted significant public interest.
This event, known as the Paris-Rouen Horseless Carriage Competition, was primarily a test of reliability and practicality rather than outright speed, as vehicles averaged only 10 mph and were often steam-powered or early internal combustion models.
The term "rally" as a motorsport discipline originated with the first Monte Carlo Rally in January 1911, which introduced the concept of staged competition over public roads connecting different points.
In the early 20th century, rallies were largely based on standard or near-standard production cars, with manufacturers using them to demonstrate the reliability and performance of their vehicles.
The 1936 Monte Carlo Rally featured notable exceptions like the Ford V8 specials, but most pre-World War II rallies still used production-based cars.
After the war, most competing vehicles remained production saloons or sports cars with only minor modifications for improved handling and performance.
Good photographic material for historians.
