The new Wartburg 353 saloon was presented in Autumn 1965. It had a very modern and attractive bodywork for mid 1960s. But engine and technics were already out-dated at the presentation. The 353 was designed by Hans Fleischer in cooperation with Clauss Dietel and Lutz Rudolph.
1989 was the very last model year Wartburg offered 3 cylinder 2-stroke engined cars.
The early 353 has a chrome front grille (till Spring 1975).
It looks like this photo is taken at a private second hand car market.

Publicity image for the new Superior 500 which replaced the Superior 400 model. The Superior 500 had a more streamlined body developed under the principles of Paul Jaráy (Vienna, 1889-1974) and the technical supervision of Josef Ganz (Budapest, 1898-1967).
At the end of 1933, a small delivery van variant was also introduced until 1938. After that year, Standard founder Wilhelm Gutbrod (near Stuttgart, 1890-1948) sold the small van under his own name as Gutbrod Merkur HV 504. The body was very similar to that of the Simca 5 Fourgonnette.
Some background info:
In the 1930s there was an increasing need for a real people's car in the German-speaking region. A car affordable for the masses, the so called 'Volkswagen'.
One of the leading engineers at that time was Josef Ganz. After he had worked for Adler, BMW, Daimler-Benz and Röhr, he developed his own minicar in 1931, the 'Maikäfer'.
In Standard Fahrzeugbau he found a manufacturer and in 1932 the Standard Superior 400 was launched (officially presented at the IAMA, the Berlin international motor show, Febr. 1933).
This cheap car was based on the 'Maikäfer' principles: tubular chassis, rear engine, independent wheel suspension and with a streamlined body.
Journalist Paul Schilperoord wrote a very interesting book about the history of the development of the VW Beetle in the 1930s. In this book he describes the life and works of Josef Ganz who's technical ideas were taken over by Ferdinand Porsche. The book reads like a very exciting story.

I got bored on a foggy night. Who would have thought that Crystal Palace sports centre could look so communist?
For those who don’t recognise it, the car is a two stroke 1989 Trabant 601 kombi.
30 second exposure at F11 with multiple flashes at full power from a handheld SB900. I did try a a few will coloured gels to match the ambient lighting, but I think that the contrast of colours worked much better in this case.
DKW became very famous for their motorbikes in the 1920s. Founder engineer Jørgen Rasmussen (1878-1964) started in 1926 with the production of electro-delivery vehicles. In 1928 he followed with motorcars.
In 1932 DKW merged with Audi, Horch and Wander into Auto Union.
Streamlined bodies were first applied in 1934 at the Schwebeklasse series.
This DKW F8 saloon has a wooden frame body covered with imitation leather on a central tubular chassis.
Typ F8 Series was introduced in 1939 and was based on the 1934 F4 Series. It was the follow-up of the F7.

Classic Couple / 305.
April 1933 a slightly improved version was introduced from the initial Superior 400 version. The body was less boxy and slightly more streamlined.
Here we see two Superiors waiting in front of the Ludwigsburg Standard Fahrzeugbau production factory. The two cars were rally participants and ready for the 2000 km rally through Germany which took place in 1933.

This Type H204 Merkur was for sale in the Czech Republic.
Accompanying text with advert: "Single cylinder, two stroke, Hurth gearbox, dynamo starter, registration documents, 4 in Germany, 1 in Austria and this one in CZ. There are no more".
So that's a very interesting offer.
The Gutbrod Standard H204 Merkur was based on the Standard Superior passenger car developed by Josef Ganz (Budapest, 1898-1967) in late 1932.
After Wilhelm Gutbrod (near Stuttgart, 1890-1948) resigned at the Carl Kaelble firm he started as an independent entrepreneur.
The brandname Standard was introduced in 1933 with the streamlined Superior 400 passenger microcar. Simultaneously a range of small commercial vehicles was presented based on the Superior 400 like the 1934 Standard Merkur.
After the production of the Superior 500 passenger car was discontinued in 1935 the brand name Standard disappeared in 1938. From then Wilhelm Gutbrod offered his commercial vehicles under his own name.

Note the style similarity to Josef Ganz's 1933 Standard Type II.
Both cars were based on Ganz's 'Maikäfer' principles: tubular chassis, rear engine, independent wheel suspension and with a streamlined body.
Jørgen Skafte Rasmussen (Denmark, 1878-1964) founder of DKW started in 1926 Metallwerke Frankenberg GmbH which produced mainly small commercial utility vehicles. The company was renamed Framo-Werke in 1934. The name was a combination of FRAnkenberg and MOtorenwerk.
In the same year the company started with compact passenger cars. The Stromer FP 200 tri-cycle was the first car, followed by the four-wheel Piccolo VH 200 and VH 300.
Despite the outward resemblance to the Superior, Ganz had no contact with Rasmussen, as far as I know.
297 cc mono-cylinder air-cooled rear engine.
375 kg.
Production Piccolo VH 300: 1935-1935.

The Dutch journalist Paul Schilperoord (1977) tracked down one of the last remaining Standard Superior eastern Germany. It had survived in the DDR but it had been radically modified in the meantime.
The front doors, windscreen and rear lights were taken from a 1958-1965 Trabant P50/P60. Only the chassis with engine and the complete nose of the Superior was kept original.
Here Schilperoord stands with Josef Ganz grandnephew Lorenz Schmid (Bern, 1981, at the right) with their purchased modified Superior MK I.

Stopped and had a chat with this guy who was getting ready to head off in the woods..
Lovely little bike - 2stroke with a cool sound and smell!! ;)
"This is the BSA Bantam frame that was originally designed by the late Rob Homer.
Alan Whitton, and Paul Rogers-Ridgard, from "Derby Road and Race" did a deal with Rob, to continue to build the frames.
Paul says now, fifty have been produced by ..2018..
Rob, Alan, and Paul, ... hence "RAP"..
The current frames have been altered slightly from Rob's original design, as they now sport engine under-run rails, for the simple reason that the Scottish two day trial committee, decried that to compete in their once a year trial, engine under-run rails were a must to be fitted, as there was not a BSA Bantam trials bike made by BSA without them"

- Auto Union was the result of a merger between four companies in 1932: Wanderer, DKW, AUDI and Horch.
- The emblem represents this amalgamation with its four rings, one representing each company.
- The shares were sold in 1964 to Volkswagen and from that time on they were called Auto Union (without DKW).
- In 1969, NSU became part of the union and became known as AUDI NSU. In 1985, it offically became known as AUDI.
- Until Juli 1963 they were build at the Auto Union Werk Düsseldorf-Derendorf.
- In fashion of the time, the car had a panoramic windscreen and a vertical speedometer, called "Clinical Thermometer" in Germany.
- In 1961 they introduced the “Frischölautomatik” ("Clean Oil Regulator"), a system incorporating a separate oil tank and pump to dispense the oil which, in a two-stroke engine, is mixed with the fuel ahead of combustion, to reduce the characteristic blue smoke emission
- In extreem cold winters, like 1962-1963, they had an unexpected increase in crankshaft damage because the oil, its viscosity affected by the cold weather, was unable to flow freely through the narrow feeder pipe in the carburettor .
- The car was equipped with 6 volts electric power system, a 4 speed manual gearbox with column-mounted lever control and front-wheel drive.

In 1954 the French Velam company acquired the license from the Italian Iso Autoveicoli to produce their successful small Iso Isetta.
The original Italian Isetta was designed by Ermenegildo Preti in cooperation with engineer Pierluigi Raggi in 1952 and presented at the 1953 Turin Motor show.
Late 1954 BMW gained the license to manufacture the Isetta but also the complete body tooling aswel. Because of this Velam had to develop their own body and so it is slightly different than the original Iso and her offspring from BMW.
The Velam Isetta production ceased in 1958 while BMW continued their Isetta even till 1962 and had a lot of success with it.
236 cc 2-stroke monocylinder engine.

Wartburg Knight 353 (1966-88) Engine 993 cc 3 cylinder two stroke
Production 1,225,190
Registration Number A 185 VYC (Exeter for Taunton)
The Wartburg 353, known in some export markets as the Wartburg Knight, is a medium-sized family car, produced by the East German car manufacturer AWE for their Wartburg brand. Introduced in 1966 as a successor to the Wartburg 311 and contineing through to 1988.
The Wartburg 353 was the creation of the former German BMW production facilities (called EMW under Soviet occupation). and was powered by a very agile 1 litre three cylinder two stroke engine of only seven major moving parts, crankshaft included, and producing about 50 to 55 PS. The transmission was equipped with a freewheel, obviating the need to use the clutch between gears, which was devised as a fuel saving device.Drivers had the option of turning the freewheel off through a switch under the steering column to benefit from engine braking.
During its lifetime it saw several changes and improvements, the most recognizable of these coming in 1985 with a front facelift and a slightly different layout around the engine block and a new carburetor.
From March 1975 the 353 became the 353W received front disc brakes (of Czech manufacture) and many other safety changes such as rollbelts, a collapsible steering column, and dual circuit hydraulic brakes. In 1982 the carburettor was altered to one with pre-heated mixture, also cars got new rear brake drums and new headlights. From early 1984 the "S" version replaced the "de luxe,"

The Dutch journalist Paul Schilperoord (1977) tracked down one of the last remaining Standard Superior in eastern Germany. It had survived in the DDR but it had been radically modified in the meantime. The front doors, windscreen and rear lights were taken from a 1958-1965 Trabant P50/P60.
Only the chassis with engine and the complete nose of the Superior was kept original.
The car was transported to the Netherlands for restoration back to its original appearance.
Some background info:
In the 1930s there was an increasing need for a real people's car in the German-speaking region. A car affordable for the masses, the so called 'Volkswagen'.
One of the leading engineers at that time was Josef Ganz (Budapest, 1898-1967). After he had worked for Adler, BMW, Daimler-Benz and Röhr, he developed his own minicar in 1931, the 'Maikäfer'.
In Standard Fahrzeugbau he found a manufacturer and in 1932 the Standard Superior 400 was launched (officially presented at the IAMA, the Berlin international motor show, Febr. 1933).
This cheap car was based on the 'Maikäfer' principles: tubular chassis, rear engine, independent wheel suspension and with a streamlined body.
Journalist Paul Schilperoord wrote a very interesting book about the history of the development of the VW Beetle in the 1930s. In this book he describes the life and works of Josef Ganz who's technical ideas were taken over by Ferdinand Porsche. The book reads like a very exciting story.
See: Paul Schilperoord, Het ware verhaal van de Kever: hoe Hitler het ontwerp van een Joods genie confisqueerde, Veen Magazines, 2009.

1934-1938 Publicity brochure for Standard Schnell-Lastwagen (light truck) H204 and H504 based on the Standard Superior passenger car developed by Josef Ganz (Budapest, 1898-1967) in late 1932.
After Wilhelm Gutbrod (near Stuttgart, 1890-1948) resigned at the Carl Kaelble firm he started as an independent entrepreneur.
The brandname Standard was introduced in 1933 with the streamlined Superior 400 passenger microcar. Simultaneously a range of small commercial vehicles was presented based on the Superior 400 like the 1934 Standard Merkur.
After the production of the Superior 500 passenger car was discontinued in 1935 the brand name Standard disappeared in 1938. From then Wilhelm Gutbrod offered his commercial vehicles under his own name.

DKW became very famous for their motorbikes in the 1920s. Founder engineer Jørgen Rasmussen (1878-1964) started in 1926 with the production of electro-delivery vehicles. In 1928 he followed with motorcars.
Streamlined bodies were first applied in 1934 at the Schwebeklasse series.
This Schwebeklasse coach was launched in Febr. 1934 and was one of the first DKW with a clear aerodynamic body.
This series was named after its typical suspension system: the body was more or less floating on the two leaf spring packages (Schwebeachse in German). It can be well seen in the picture.

The IFA F8 was an almost exact copy of the pre-war front wheel drive DKW Typ 8-700 Meisterklasse.
Directly after the war Eastern Germany stayed occupied by the Sovjet troops. All motor car factories in Sachsen were expropriated and declared as businesses owned by the people (Volkseigenen Betrieb / VEB).
These factories in the Eastern territories had suffered relatively little damage during the war. In Summer 1946 they already started up for repairing purposes for the Sovjets. Late 1947 these Eastern German businesses were unified as IFA (Industrieverwaltung Fahrzeugbau).
The first passenger cars were produced in 1948. But it was not until 1949 that regular automobile construction really got going. In the former Audi-Werk in Zwickau ran the IFA F8 of the line. Inspiration was found in the 1939 DKW F8 range, which was actually based on the 1934 DKW F4. The 2-door F8 saloon had a partly wooden frame body covered with imitation leather.
So in the same period the Western German DKW had developed complete new cars with modern streamlined steel bodies the East-German car manufacturers went back 15 years in time. They would never reach the same level of design and technical performance as the Western German branch did.

My final night shift of the week, this time helping out the "Red Team". As I don't sign Class 59's 7A17 Acton - Colnbrook is unusually seen at Colnbrook with 66102 at the helm. A mere 34 loaded bogie hoppers weighing in at 3396 tons.
There are a couple of places here that are fantastically well lit, making for some good photo opportunities.
