keiser31 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 I'd say this one should have been under, "Memorabilia, Toys, Art, Clothing and Printed Material" section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike6024 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 It just might be a "1954 gebruder ihle schottenring microcar." IHLE Schottenring Car This microcar was built in Germany as a "Schottenring" car. Originally there was a steel bumper around the car and they rode on a wooden track (RING) in an Amusement Park. http://www.microcarmuseum.com/tour/ihle.html Generally credited with developing the signature BMW kidney grille, the Ihle brothers, Frank and Thomas, of Bruchsal, Germany, also built such racing cars as a competition variant of the BMW Dixie. After selling their racing car business to BMW, they established “Gebr. Ihle,” which translates to “the brothers Ihle,” aimed at producing cars for amusement parks and fairs. These cars are extremely rare and collectible. This particular example is powered by a 125cc Hirth two-stroke, single-cylinder motor producing about seven horsepower, accessed through a simulated spare tire cover at the rear. With a length of only 93 inches and a weight of only about 600 pounds, it is a delightfully sprightly little motor car, finished in a light yellow and maroon with one of two available front nose sections from Ihle, the other of which was simply intended to create some model differentiation in Ihle’s lineup. https://dobsonmotorsport.com/car/1954-ihle-schottenring-2-seat-microcar/ Sold for $41,400 http://www.rmsothebys.com/bw13/the-bruce-weiner-microcar-museum/lots/1954-ihle-schottenring-car/1057066 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
