DIABOLO / GERMANY

DIABOLO / STUTTGART / BRUCHSAL / GERMANY  ( 1922 - 1927
 

In 1922 the DIABOLO Kleinauto AG, founded in Stuttgart (South Germany )  presented a 3-wheeler that was powered by a 1.1 litre Motosacoche engine. This car showed some resemblance to the MORGAN 3-wheeler.
But there was no commercial succes. Maybe 300 cars were built. None of the Diabolo cars survived !

So the emblem is ultra rare and I had to buy the whole radiator for my emblem collection.


even a devil can be sympathic
