Very Rare 1955  #11 Gebr Ihle Bruchsal Mercedes SL 300 Amusement Car 

Ihle Brothers in Bruchsal Germany produced some amazing vintage micro cars who were used at fairs in autodromes. Please note that it is Ihle and not Jhle! The emblem says: GEBR IHLE BRUCHSAL or GIB (GJB) The Brothers Rudolf and Fritz Ihle started their company in 1930 in Bruchsal and soon realized that in 1933 the body of the BMW Dixis were out of days. mostly because it was based on the shape of a 1922 Austin seven. So they introduced a more sporty shaped body the Ihle 600. which could be mounted on any Dixi frame. Customers could change there old body for these modern shaped cars on their old frames. These models were only available in Signal Red. In 1934 Ihle started a production line for these models. Soon Ihle offered bodies: the Ihle 600 and Ihle 800 for chassis from other manufactories like Hansa. Opel. DKW F2. F4 and F5 and of course the Ford Eifel.   The Sporty arrow shaped rear was only available for the BMW/Dixi. Later the Legend started that Ihle introduced the typical Kidney Style radiator. now the image for BMW. The Ihle Dixis were produced in Bruchsal until 1941. There was a parallel production of mini cars for amusement rides. special tractors and passenger trailers. In the beginning of the 30s Ihle had a staff of 50 workers and expanded this to up to 150 workers until the war. During the War Ihle produced precision weapons and portable water pumps. After the war. Ihle sold the dixi production to BMW and expanded their business producing rides for amusement parks and carnival fairs. They also started using the new material Fiber glas. Specially good were. often in detail reinvented cars to original examples. So in 1955 a 2. 5 meter model was built like the Mercedes 300 SL. It had a Fiberglas body an original Mercedes steering wheel and an 8 HP Hirth gas engine.   After the death of both company founders and the bankruptcy in 1985. there came an end of the Ihle Bros. in Bruchsal.

We have two of these vehicles that were part of the Santa Monica -Pacific Ocean Park, which closed in 1963 and they have been in our family since then. They are both in similar shape to yours. We are interested in selling ours as well and wondered if you knew of other people interested in these unique cars. They can reach us at [email protected]
