[Leica] IMG: From The Past

[Philippe]

This model must be some sort of graft tinkered at the back of a garage and there may have existed only very few of the kind :-)

The rear(er) axle didn’t power the vehicle, it only served to alleviate the burden of the passengers and swiveled in the curves, cool, yet, what about braking ...l !
