Trying to find the origin of some of these early photos is often frustrating, they've been blogged and reblogged so many times the source appears to have evaporated.

Here's another non traceable.

Slightly better picture



Text fron Swedish to English via google-translate...

This week's break is the idol Otto Mathés Gmünd-Porsche (production number 40), which includes a Veritas and a BMW 328 bar during a roundabout race in the early 50's. Porschen built Otto Mathé on the right hand side because after a motorcycle injury he was paralyzed in his right arm.

I wonder if the image was scanned in from a book as it does not seem to originate from anywhere on the internet save for one source.
