Austro-Daimler

Austro-Daimler
AUSTRO-DAIMLER ADR 6 BERMEISTER

Tourer, saloon, cabriolet.

'Cooking' versions of Hans von Stuck's famed hillclimb special. Not quite an Alpine 8 with two fewer pots, as like all Rabe's sixes it has only three mains, and appears quite happy with them. Brakes again servo-assisted, but with cable actuation. Said to have a tricky gearbox, but lighter than the eight, and therefore probably faster. Elegance again a strong point, but rare anywhere.
