An extremely rare find: Steiger

                                                                                 
Michael Schick from Gremany recently discovered a Steiger 10/50 PS Engine from 1920. For 25 years he has been researching the history of Steiger, a far form average marque (Read more about this remarkable cars at Michael's homepage Der Steiger. The factory was in Burgrieden near Ulm in South Germany. In the 1920 to 1926 an unknown number of Steiger cars were shipped to North America. In 1985 one car was found in Santa Barbara and it went back to Germany. Michael presumes there must be more of these cars that have survived. In Germany there are only two surviving cars (plus one engine now...). Read more about the new-found engine (in German) in the 'Schwabische Newspaper'. We also understand that our colleagues of The Automobile will do a special about Steiger in the near future. Anybody who has more information about Steiger or any known survivors, please let us know. Or contact Michael of course!

This car was imported into The Netherlands in the period 1920-1922 by the Rotterdamsche Automobiel Maatschappij in Rotterdam. See the ads on the Conam website. >>>http://www.conam.info/importeurs-tot-1940-beschrijvingen/steiger-d-r-a-m-rotterdam-1920-1922

Could the four tone mistery car presented three weeks ago on Prewarcar (collection Thomas Ulrich) be a later rebody Steiger? The short wheelbase is similar to the 10/50 or 11/55 Sport on the Michael homepage, the headlamps and the headlamps supports are identical, as well as the steering wheel the twin spare wheels and the bonnet. Also the windshield split on the driver side is identical to one 11/55 Tourer on the same website.
The radiator could have been rounded at the later stage in the Bentley fashion.
The Steigers usually had an external gear lever, in the mistery car there is still a hole covered (intentionally?) by the two spare wheels.
