Interesting car just come up for sale on Car & Classic. Unusual and possibly rare.
Ihle, pre-war, made bodies for BMW, DKW, Opel, Hansa and Ford. In appearance very similar to the BMW 328.
After the war they switched to manufacturing pedal cars and fairground equipment.

Very pretty car. And it seems to have quite a lot of spares.

Might the double-exit exhaust manifold be a fabrication? If so, why not a three-exit?

You beat me to it, Russell; what is going on there?

Edit: Oh, I see! I should have guessed, it's TG fiddling with images again! I should have checked the photo in the advert!

You'd think it would have the front shock absorber links the right way up at that price!
