The seller offers for sale this Adler Trumpf Junior Cabriolet from 1935, a cabriolet equipped with a 1.0 litre 4-cylinder petrol engine and manual transmission . This example features the rarer 999 cc engine and front-wheel drive configuration that made the model innovative for its time. The engine has been completely rebuilt and the car is described as mechanically sound, with the engine running well and the gearbox shifting smoothly. It shows no visible rust. The body is presented in aluminium construction, and the interior is reported in well-preserved condition. The car benefits from CPAA, FIVA and CAAA homologation and is stated to be the only known fully functional example of this type in Portugal suitable for longer distances. The current documented mileage is 45.000 km and it holds a valid technical inspection.
This cabriolet is fitted with a soft top in good condition, showing light signs of use while remaining watertight. The soft top mechanism operates smoothly and functions as intended, allowing the roof to be opened and closed with ease. No hard top is included.
The Adler Trumpf Junior was introduced in the mid-1930s by Adlerwerke in Germany and quickly gained attention for its advanced engineering. At a time when rear-wheel drive was standard, the Trumpf Junior offered front-wheel drive and independent suspension, contributing to improved road holding and driving comfort. The compact 1.0 litre engine delivered around 25 horsepower, enabling a top speed of approximately 90 km/h, which was competitive in its class. The model was offered in several body styles, with the cabriolet versions being among the most desirable today. Due to limited production numbers and the survival rate of pre-war vehicles, the Trumpf Junior has become a sought-after collector’s car. Its combination of innovative technology, pre-war charm and rarity makes it appealing to enthusiasts of early European automobiles.
