Cyklonette 3 wheeler car.

Author: Harry Pyle Friday, 25 May 2012

Cyklonette 3 wheeler car.Hello,
I have a Cyklon 2 cylinder motor Bore 73mm stroke 90mm =750cc.
The motor turns freely, has compression and appears to be in "low mileage" condition. It is missing the gearbox, magneto and carburettor.
I cannot find information or parts here in West Australia.
I want to build a 3 wheeler car like in photo. I also have the 2 x rear wheels. I do not have any body parts.
Is that car on the photo in a German Museum ? I will be in Frankfurt for a few days in September this year, and would like to visit this car.
Can someone please tell me where this car is displayed.
Also, is there a Register or Club for Cyklonettes in Germany,or an expert that I can meet and discuss my project with.
Main question..the engine is stamped with  the number "282". Can someone please give me the year of its manufacture.
I have been a member of Pre-war Car .com for many years..please keep up the GREAT work.
Looking forward to hearing from you or members.
Kindest regards
Harry Pyle in West Australia  (check his advert)

No Rollfix but MERKUR Eilwagen !

Author: Mieke Franck Thursday, 24 May 2012

Dreirad MERKUR  EilwagenRecently I bought this barnfound tricycle. I thought it was a Rollfix 'Eilwagen' (speed-courier) of which stil a few are around.  I contacted the grandson of the man who began Rollfix and he told me it was no Rollfix, but a Merkur Eilwagen, the only one to survive. So I would love to hear more from people, that know about Merkur.

Hallo,
onlangs gekocht via Barnfind op Prewarcar een triporteur  , ik dacht dat ik een Rollfix Eilwagen gekocht had  waar er nog enkele van bestaan,  ik had nu kontakt met de kleinzoon van de stichter van Rollfix, hij is er al dertig jaar mee bezig en gaat nu een boek publiceren over het wel en wee van de Rollfix fabriek  , maar ik  heb volgens hem een Merkur Eilwagen 1930  gekocht en volgens hem is dit een Einzel stuk , er is geen enkele overlevende meer van , dus moest iemand er meer van weten?  een gelukkige Baron Von Der Roest  ,

Vintage Car in Ismailia needs identificationMy friend Mostafa El Sadek came across this and I thought I have to share it to find out what this is. We have nice beach house and a big family house in Ismailia. Ismailia used to be a haven for English, French, Greeks and recently a 1938 Studebaker surfaced from the garage of a greek family, no photos though
kind regards,
