This car appeared on the grid at the 1952 Eifelrennen at the famous Nürburgring complex in Nürburg, Germany. It finished fifth, in the middle of a collection of BMW-powered racecars. This is a unique opportunity to own a contemporary racer to the Veritas racer, and at a comparably bargain price.

This example is a "one-off", totally unique hand-built racecar; the only example extant. The bodywork on the “Wagner Special” was fashioned from surplus US aircraft wing-tanks; the car was built at Honore Wagner's uncle's workshop in Luxembourg. With a clear history, this is a great opportunity for a vintage race collector or enthusiast.
