Hi Michael

2 pics showing the 2 Carrera's at the same corner



Obviously large differences between the 2 cars
Sepp Greger car looks older (behive lights + 6 louvers instead of 5 on HvH car)
HvH registration Stuttgart
Sepp Greger ?

[Carrera GT]

A front view of the 2 cars
HVH first


Sepp




Anyway although he had an older car Sepp did far better than HVH

[356]

Looks like the factory in the background.

Hi Vance

I believe you are right for the factory in the back
I also believe the driver to be Max Nathan

May be the same car same day
The 5 is behind Max

[Porschinelle]

Max Nathan with that same car at the 1956 S

[Porschinelle]

Max Nathan with that same car (550-045) at the Solitude GP 1956


Andrew your opinion please ?

[Type550]

Yes, Max Nathan with 550-0045 #25 before the 1956 Avus GP

[Porschinelle]

Thanks Andrew
Max Nathan was German
Do you know why his 550 is not wearing a German registration ?
By the way from which country (Austria ? Sweden ?) is the registration A 85200 ?

[Type550]

Max only piloted some of the races. The car was owned and also raced by Swedish driver Gert Kaiser, which is why it wore the Blue and yellow livery
