Brennabor Typ Z

Last updated

The Brennabor Typ Z, launched in 1928, was a car introduced by the Brennabor company, replacing the Brennabor Typ R, as the company’s contender in the medium-sized car sector, had been a best seller on the German market during the modest return to economic growth that characterized the middle years of the decade after the reparations issue had, to an extent, been resolved. The Typ Z was itself replaced after just a year by Brennabor Ideal Typ N which would represent a more comprehensive upgrade

Brennabor

Brennabor-Werke AG was a German manufacturer of infant buggies, bicycles, motorcycles and, for two decades, of powered motor vehicles. It was based in Brandenburg an der Havel and operated between 1871 and 1945.

Dawes Plan

The Dawes Plan was a plan that was in 1924 to resolve the World War I reparations that Germany had to pay, that had strained diplomacy following World War I and the Treaty of Versailles.

The Typ Z retained the same engine capacity and claimed 25 hp (19 kW) power output of its predecessor, but was slightly shorter and lower (though wider and no lighter). The rear axle was now provided with underslung half leaf springs, a system which would later be adopted by the competing auto-maker Horch for luxury models such as the Horch 850.

Horch[hɔʁç] was a car brand manufactured in Germany by August Horch & Cie, at the beginning of the 20th century.

The Brennabor Typ Z was offered with a range of body types, with two or four doors and as a sedan or open-topped sedan. A two-door full cabriolet was also available. Approximately 10,000 were produced.
