It is great to see the Veritas here. A friend of mine’s father raced for Veritas after WWII. Nice to see it. He shared quite a few photos of his dad and the car.

Cool sports roadster. Reminds of the Sprite a little, front the front. Another excellent choice John; thank you!

Yes thanks John, first time for me seeing one, or ever hearing of it.😎

Quite an interesting background story and read. Thank-you John. IMO, its a bit “frumpy” looking. I’m surprised at that $900,00.00 sale price but then again it is rare.

John, of course you are absolutely right. What the company did with what they had is phenomenal but body styling wise I can’t help but picture Ma Kettle in my feeble mind.

Post war German automotive history is extremely interesting, especially considering what was to come in later decades. Not much around on the car I could find other than mostly repeats of the story John has posted. A 1949 version sold for $907500. Kinda agree with Steves "a bit frumpy" comment. I would however readily accept a model of it.
thanks as always John
