Forgotten DKW (Update II; 1927 P 15)

• 

Your editor took this picture earlier this year at the Essen Motor Show, but forgot to take notes. It’s a DKW Roadster, that’s for sure, but what year and what model? We think it’s a 1931/1932 F1, but are not certain. This DKW came from the Audi Museum in Ingolstadt, so we tried to find it on their website. But, my goodness, it’s like wading through mud! You can try for yourselves if you must, but be prepared, it’s not very informative and you have to install new software. Maybe we should wait till the next Essen Motor Show, which we’ll surely attend. Check our new events-page under 'carshows' for the date. You are welcome to list new interesting events through this page.
UPDATE II by John Smeets:"Searching on your site I saw the picture and the comment of the DKW. Indeed, the DKW is NOT a F1 as you thought but it is a P15, the first DKW car build in 1927 and the only DKW with rear-wheel-drive. It has a 500cc twocylinder twostroke engine with 15Hp (P15 stands for Personenwagen with 15 Hp). De P15 is built till 1930 and replaced with the F1 (F1 stands for Front) the first DKW with front-wheel-drive."
UPDATE I by Roger Bowers who concludes based on internet materials that it just can't be a 1931.
