Not one single 1924/25 Stoewer D10 survived?



Never say never! Despite various remarks that not one single Stoewer D10 survived, here it is. Well here... er.. in Australia where many rare cars survived due to the absence of war and thanks to favourable climate conditions. Sebastien Simon sends these photos as a response to quiz #371
"This is the last known Stoewer D10, seen in Castlemaine, Victoria, last year. All the mechanics have been restored by the long time owner Jim Goble , while the body and interior was left alone and is showing a most fabulous patina. It was interesting to compare that Stoewer to the many early Lancia Lambdas then present for the Australian Lancia Register meeting." 
Thank you Simon Sebastine, Craig Gillingham and Graeme Steinfort (VSCC-Victoria) for 'digging up' the car and details.

That is the presence of metal scrap recycling plants. Maybe Australia has them, but to transport a car for recycling from the Australian outbacks may not be lucrative. Egypt was another such country. India recycles scrap and so much has been lost.
