From the Karl Ludvigsen library we received this photo of a racing Brennabor. In a caption it says that it’s driver is Walter Reich, but we can’t find any information on him. We have a slight suspicion that his name could be ‘Reichstein’, perhaps making him a relative (brother?) of Carl Reichstein who was the founder of Brennabor. Too bad, that the faces of the occupants of the car are difficult to see. We have tried to lighten them up a bit, but to no avail. Can you tell us about Walter Reich or perhaps know more about this Brennabor racing car?

Update by Nick Harley: As your readers correctly surmised there were 3 Brennabor in the 1910 Prinz Heinrich-Fahrt and here are the photos showing the team-Walter Reichstein,Carl Reichstein jr and Von Natzmer. All vital information for the Brennabor enthusiast! (large .PDF file!)
An der Prinz Heinrich Fahrt 1910 nahmen mehrere Brennabor Wagen recht erfolgreich teil. Den hier im abgebildeten Foto steuerte Walter Reichstein, Sohn von Carl Reichstein.
Der "Brooklands-Rennwagen" war ein aus dem "Prinz Heinrich Wagen", nur für die Brooklans-Rennbahn, weiterentwickeltes Spezialfahrzeug.
