A delightfully original, one-off runabout. for sale

This highly original Cuno Bistram was a very well-constructed one-off from Hamburg. The name is the designer/constructor's. about whom little is known. apart from the fact that the Bistram family was influential and well-known in Hamburg. He must have been a capable engineer. as the quality of workmanship is very high. both in the level of design and the superb metalworking skills in evidence.
The car takes the form of a monoposto racing car. but it was. apparently. simply intended as a personal runabout. built simply for the joy of building it rather than to some specific purpose.
The complex sliding pillar suspension and beautifully-shaped custom fuel tank fitting into the compound-curved tail are examples of the fine craftsmanship seen throughout. Bistram followed the principle of weglassen. meaning “leave it off if it's not necessary. ” This extends to the leaving-off of a starter motor. Starting means turning the ignition on. lifting the tail cover to tickle the carb. and giving the kick lever on the outside left rear a dab. The motor lights up easily. and one is soon enjoying the passing scenery accompanied by the pleasant burble of a period two-stroke. For any questions please call Bruce
