Brennabor

D, 1908 – 1934

Gebr. Reichstein Brennabor-Werke, Brandenburg

Cycles and motor cycles were already in production when Brennabor started car manufacture in 1908 with the Brennaborette, a 3-wheeler with a Fafnir engine and chain drive. Shaft drive was used later. In the same year appeared the first 4-wheel Brennabor car for sale, also with a Fafnir 2-cylinder engine. In 1909 followed the first car with a 4-cylinder engine of Brennabor’s own design, though some engines were supplied by Stoewer. During the years before World War 1 further Brennabor models came on to the market which were very popular although not of special technical interest. Brennabor cars were known for their durability and reliability, which they proved in several Long Distance Trials, such as the Russian Czar Nicholas Reliability Trial, St. Petersburg – Sevastopol, of 1911. In 1910 and 1911 Brennabor also entered the pages of Brooklands history with some successes. In the United Kingdom Brennabor cars were marketed under the name Brenna in the pre-war years. In 1914 a small Brennabor car was brought out, the three-seater Brennabor 3/15ps 1½-litre. In the mid-1920s Brennabor introduced line production with a daily output of up to 120 cars. Following the trend of that time 6 cylinder (2½- and 3-litre) and 8-cylinder (3.4-litre) models were also produced by Brennabor including one 6-cylinder front-driven model (the Brennabor Juwel 6 Front, 2460cc, 45bhp) in 1930/1931. The last Brennabor was the type D, 1-litre car production ceasing in 1934.
