Björn, many thanks again for sharing the article!!!
Amazing indeed that the car remained in Romania for all those years!
A friend of mine confirmed that the registration plates on the car are from the capital Bucharest.
Propably I am not the only one who would like to know where the car is now

Whereever 412039 is located today, I regard it as possible that the current owner could get into trouble because King Michael is and was official owner of the car unless he sells - or sold - it.
Bringing the car into light could raise some desires of the legal owner...
Honestly I don't hope that the car is hidden for those reasons! I would prefer to see it on the road
Tim, concerning the Auto Union race cars that went to Russia I have the book "Dem Silber auf der Spur" Das Schicksal der Auto-Union-Rennwagen, author Nikolai Alexandrow. I am afraid it's only availaible in German.
The book is quite interesting because we learn what happened with some of the Auto Union cars and about the history of the Russian "car"

industry in general. A good buy. I think you would find a copy at amazon.de.
Best regards
Ciao Carlo
