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 carburettor.

Mit Louis Lucien Lepoix war ein Franzose verantwortlich für das Design der Puch Maxis, welche 1969 erschienen.
Neben den MS Modellen in allen Variationen und dem X 30 gab es damit eine dritte Moped-Linie im Hause Puch. Dabei war das Maxi dem X 30 wesentlich näher, das trotz sehr überschaubaren Erfolgs noch bis 1976 im Programm blieb.
Ganz anders das Maxi, das verkaufte sich von Anfang an wie die warmen Semmeln. Wesentliches konstruktives Merkmal des Maxis war der im Gegensatz zu seinen Ahnen in den Rahmen integrierte Tank. Dazu kamen noch einmal kleinere Räder und ein luftgekühlter Zweitakter. Bei der Modellpflege tobte man sich wieder richtig aus, so sehr, dass man kaum den Überblick behalten konnte. Mit fast jeder Neuerung kam ein neues Modell.
Die abgebildete Puch Supermaxi K stammt von 1986 und ist eines der letzten Modelle aus Graz. K stand für einen Katalysator, der damals gerade in Mode kam. Nur mehr etwa 300 Stück sollen noch produziert worden sein, bis dann im Herbst 1987 endgültig Schluss mit der Zweiradproduktion der Steyr-Daimler-Puch AG in Graz war. Piaggio hatte die Fahrrad- und Mopedsparte gekauft, und anderorts lief die Produktion noch bis 1995.

In 1956 FMR had taken over the production of the Messerschmitt KR 200. In 1958 a 4-wheeler was added to the range: the FMR Tg 500, also designed by Fritz Fend.
The brandname 'Messerschmitt' was dropped in favour of FMR. Tg stands for Tiger.
The Tg 500 wasn't a big succes: only about 250 items were manufactured, while about 40.000 KR 200 found a buyer.
This picture is probably made on a classic car show of a TG 500 which was offered for sale: a restoration project to be finished. The car looks quite complete.

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.
Here the later modified body was taken off the original 1933 chassis.
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.

Munga stands for 'Mehrzweck-Universal-Geländefahrzeug' to be translated as multipurpose universal off-road vehicle. It was developed in 1954 and produced as Typ 91/4.
In 1956 it became a standard vehicle for the German Bundeswehr. It was also for sale as a assenger car.
Since 1962 it was called Munga.
In the 1960s the Dutch army ordered a lot of Munga Jeeps for their own purpose. This is one of them.

The Minor had frontwheel traction and was developed and designed by Jawa. The engine had only two cylinders, that's good to see here.
The Minor was developed and designed by Jawa.
The Czech company was founded in 1929 by František Janeček (1878-1941) who bought the German Wanderer Motor Cycles division (Jawa stands for JAneček-WAnderer).
Characteristic of the Minor was its aerodynamic body with again the fully integrated headlights. Czech car makers had quite a good reputation for advanced technics and design.

Kawasaki H1 Mach III, 500cc, 2 stroke triple. About 60 hp from a bike that weighed around 180Kg.
I've never ridden one which probably explains why I'm still here. It had the dubious reputation for being known as the "Widow Maker". A bike only suitable for the experienced because it had a fearsome power band over 5000 rpm. Once the original tyres were junked, I believe the handling improved considerably. An absolute wheelie machine with a range that could get you to the next town (just) the fuel economy was about 30mpg!
Impractical but exciting.

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.
Note the use of tubular chrome seats. It was a new invention in the early 1920s.

In 1965 the engine was uprated to 40bhp and there was an optional 57bhp version with triple carburettors and oil injection, was used in the Sport and Monte Carlo models.Some late cars have front disc brakes.
Compared to its predecessor, the Saab 93, the 96 featured greater and more easily accessible storage space and larger rear window. The front end was lengthened for 1965 models, in preparation for a new engine, and the radiator was placed ahead of the engine, rather than above and behind, a leftover from the thermosiphon cooling days. Both front and rear windows were enlarged slightly for 1968 models.
The Saab 96 was driven most famously by Erik Carlsson, in many international rallies. His most famous successes were first in the 1960, 1961 and 1962 RAC Rallies and first in the 1962 and 1963 Monte Carlo Rallies. It was these successive, top-level victories that put the Saab 96 'on the map' and established its reputation for reliability and toughness. Carlsson also competed in the East African Safari Rally. Famous rallying names such as Simo Lampinen, Per Eklund, Pat Moss-Carlsson, Tom Trana, Stig Blomqvist and Carl Orrenius have also been connected with the Saab 96.
