Title: Swiss Sprint microcar
Post by: bruetsch-freak on February 15, 2009, 08:48:18 PM
Hi,

I´ve been specialised in all the Bruetsch and his licence cars some years ago. But I cannot find any information about this mystery microcar called Sprint. The folder which was printed tells that the car is a licence product from the german racing-driver Egon Bruetsch! But Bruetsch does never mentioned this licence in any documents. Until one short article in an "Roller Mobil und Kleinwagen" issue are there no publications anywhere. Does anyone knows anything ???

I got the flyer you talk about from a swiss microcar club member. He had no other information about it. I guess the run out of money after printing the flyers...

see: http://www.rollermobilclub.ch/rmc/pages/info/ch_kleinwagen.htm (http://www.rollermobilclub.ch/rmc/pages/info/ch_kleinwagen.htm) for more information about swiss microcars.

Hallo Oliver  ;)

wir hatten ja schon seit einiger Zeit keinen Kontakt mehr.
Du hast den Flyer :o Ich suche seit Jahren nach einem zweiten Exemplar kann aber nirgens eines finden.

Viele Grüße in die Schweiz

When RUMCAR NEWS first published an article on the Tourette (RCN16 Spring 1988) Emily Merkelt the widow of the Tourette designer told me  in no uncerttain manner that there was absolutely no connection between the Tourette and  Brutsch.  In fact her  husband's early sketches of the Tourette design were done in 1946 long before any of the Brutsch designs were known.

Now with Jeans answer doesn't it prove that everyone who uses this Forum should be subscribing to Rumcar News and also buy the earlier copies that has lots of articles on most of the items talked about on here.
