Berlin Motor Show
#1
Was it the 1935 or 1936 Berlin Motor Show where Adolph Hitler asked where the Dixi was, when visiting the Austin stand?
In the photograph showing Adolph Hitler shaking hands with Lord Austin there is, just visible, an Austin 7  'Speedy' which I understand still exists and was, or still is, in the safe hands of Stephan Schmitt.
Does anyone know the answers to these queries please?

Hi James
I believe it was the 1936 motor show.
The car is restored and working and is in the hands of Seigbert Schmotz otherwise known as "Ziggy"
Ziggy is a friend of mine and I organised the rebuild of his car.
If you need his details please contact me.

Hi Nick,
 Many thanks for kindly providing me with answers to my questions. Yes, I would greatly appreciate being put in touch with Ziggy, as I would like to obtain a photograph of the 'Speedy' for inclusion in a future article which I am putting together for the V.A.R.
Thank's again.
