Manufacturer: Wiener Automobilfabrik A.G., vorm. Gräf & Stift, Wien-Döbling - Austria
Type: C 12 Limousine

Speed: 125 km/h

Curb weight: 2500 kg
Special:
- Gräf & Stift Wien was an Austrian manufacturer of automobiles, trucks, buses and trolleybuses, founded in 1895 by the brothers Franz, Heinrich and Karl Gräf, participated by Wilhelm Stift.
- The brothers first car, powered by a De Dion-Bouton engine, was the first front-wheel drive car in the world.
- Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria was assassinated in Sarajevo in a 1911 Gräf & Stift Double Phaeton 28/32 PS (car no. 287 owned by Count Franz von Harrach), which incident ushered World War I.
- Gräf & Stift made very luxury automobiles for "Kings and Emperors", but hadn’t developed a passenger car since 1929.
- Bundeskanzler (Chancellor) Kurt Alois Josef Johann (Edler von) Schuschnigg had a Gräf & Stift SP 8, with whom he had an accident in 1935. Thereafter he used a Steyr 530 as official vehicle. The government “pushed” the Kanzler to purchase a Mercedes, to spawn Hitler, who desired the “Anschluss” of Austria.
- Schuschnigg did not liked that idea, and ordered the Gräf brothers in 1937 to build a typical Austrian official vehicle.
- The brothers “bypassed” the costly development by using stock parts, like SP 8 axles, suspension, ZF gearbox, etc. and ordered a V-12 Lincoln engine in America.
- They did not even bother to convert the 6-Volts Lincoln engine to 12-Volts, what was common at Gräf & Stift. Therefore, it is also the only Gräf & Stift automobile with a 6-Volts electric system.
- The chassis and body were handmade at there own plant in Wien.
- The C 12 was not yet finished when Bundeskanzler Schuschnigg resigned and the car survived WWII as company car of the Gräf & Stift company.
- It has a four-speed manual ZF gearbox (third and fourth synchronized and top was a geared-up "overdrive" ratio) + reverse with vacuum servo assistance, steering column shifter, a 6-Volts electric system, a 110 liter fuel tank, multi-plates discs clutch, shaft drive and rear wheel drive.
- The chassis (with centralised lubrication system) with steel body (L550xW190xH175cm, track width front 153cm, track width rear 135cm) was handmade, has a 138.58 inch wheelbase, hydraulic shock absorbers all around, longitudinal semi-elliptic front and rear suspension and vacuum powered hydraulic drum brakes all round.
Rue Henri Pape. Is it the car? The color? This Trabant 601S produced by a former East German car manufacturer just made me happy.
Also now on SORN. Oddly for an LHD import, this seems to have been in the UK since new. I'd imagine this was sold in France originally. A shame about the dents, but it looked decent otherwise. Mileage could be a genuine 52,000kms. Would it be safe to assume this is worth more in its native market?

Special:
- The company that became Alfa Romeo was founded as Società Anonima Italiana Darracq (SAID) in 1906 by Cavaliere Ugo Stella, an aristocrat from Milan, in partnership with the French automobile firm of Alexandre Darracq. In 1910 the company was renamed A.L.F.A. (Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili).
- In 1920, the name of the company was changed to Alfa Romeo (new owner Nicola Romeo, added his surname).
- The Sprint Veloce 2+2 Coupé was designed by Franco Scaglione, inspired by the mid-1950s Bertone’s Berlina Aerodinamica Technica (BAT) aerodynamics show cars.
- Not only designed at Bertone, but also built by Bertone in Grugliasco, a comune (municipality) in the Metropolitan City of Turin.
- A prototype had her debut at the Turing Auto Salon on October 30th. After two more prototypes were presented in car shows, the official presentation of the production version for the press was on 24 June 1959 on the Monza race track.
The Dodge Dart is an automobile originally built by Dodge from 1960 to 1976 in North America, with production extended to later years in various other markets. The Dart nameplate was resurrected for a Fiat-derived compact car introduced in 2013. The Dart name originally appeared on a 1957 show car featuring a body designed by the Italian coachbuilder Carrozzeria Ghia. The production Dart was introduced as a lower-priced, shorter wheelbase, full-size Dodge in 1960 and 1961, became a mid-size car for 1962, and finally was a compact from 1963 to 1976.
