Veritas
Title
Veritas
Description
Ernst Loof, Georg Meier and Lorenz Dietrich founded BMW-Veritas in 1947, rebuilding and tuning pre-war BMW 328 cars. BMW objected to the name and the cars became known as Veritas. The company never had enough funding, and production ended in 1950 although it built bodies for Panhard until 1952.
Ernst Loof moved to the Nürburgring in 1950 and set up a new company Automobilwerke Ernst Loof GmbH and started a new range of Veritas cars with the Heinkel engines and coachwork by Spohn. The number of cars made at the Nürburgring is estimated to be between six and twenty.
Veritas was the only professional German effort in premier-level post-war racing, despite not being a manufacturer. It's ten 10 Formula 2 single-seaters and over thirty highly competitive sports cars remain highly regarded. A total of 17 privately-entered Veritas cars participated in 5 FIA World Championship races.
