Additional informationFahrzeugstandort: Bovenden, Chassis No. 185535 \\Engine No. 354312 \\Belgian title \\ \\- 9 survivors identified \\- Technical and aesthetic originality \\- A fine example of late 1930s streamlined coachbuilding \\- One of only a handful Type 10 cabriolets known to exist \\- An older restoration (circa end of 1970s) by former Karmann employee \\- 2.5-Litre, 6 cylinder engine \\- 2018 Techno Classica Essen Concours d'Élégance FIVA award winner \\- Featured on the cover of 'Oldtimer Plus' magazine in 2007 \\ \\2022 Wertgutachten 2- ( Marktwert 145.000 EUR ) \\ \\ \\Presented at the 1937 Berlin Motor Show, the new Adler 2.5 caused a sensation as it was reflective of the streamline movement inspired by the teardrop aerodynamics. With its four independent wheels and hydraulic brakes, it was a technically modern car, while its proven and robust 2.5L 6-cylinder engine, mated to a 4-speed gearbox, gave it good performance. Despite its qualities, production stopped in 1940 and surviving examples are rare, even impossible to find when it comes to the Karmann convertible that we are offering. Retained in the same family for many years, it was restored in the early 1980s by a former Karmann employee, Ernst Fleischmann. Its current owner acquired it from the latter in 2014, and continued maintaining it, and in 2018 won the 2nd prize in its class at the Techno Classica Essen elegance competition. The car is now patinated and very well preserved, with many specific details that make it so charming. This Autobahn Adler was regularly maintained by LMB Racing in Wijnegem. This car has extensive period documentation. Rare and interesting, this convertible is as much a concours d'elegance car as it is an iconic design piece of the late Art Deco period. \\ \\Frankfurt-based Adler started out in the 19th Century as a bicycle manufacturer, turning later to the production of motorcycles, cars and the typewriters with which its name is most commonly associated today. A highly respected firm in its native Germany, Adler was already manufacturing automobile components when it introduced its first car - a Renault-influenced, De Dion-powered voiturette - in 1900. Within a few years the company was making its own single- and twin-cylinder engines, though by 1910 the range was powered exclusively by fours. Some of the latter were huge - as big as 7.4 litres - one of which was purchased by Kaiser Wilhelm II. Sixes and a straight eight were added to the range in the 1920s. \\ \\Adlers remained essentially conventional in design until the arrival in 1932 of the Trumpf. Designed by H G Röhr and premiered at the Geneva Salon, the Trumpf (trump) employed front-wheel drive and all-round independent suspension four years before the launch of Citroën's similarly specified yet much better known Traction Avant.
