The Hansa 3500 is a luxury vehicle from the Hansa-Lloyd and Goliath works in Borgward & Tecklenborg in Bremen-Hastedt .
history
The prototype was presented at the Berlin automobile exhibition in 1936 as Hansa Privat , series production began in the same year as Hansa 3500 Privat , according to other sources it was not until 1937 as Hansa 3500 .
In 1939, according to other sources as early as 1938, production had to be stopped because the company's Schell plan only allowed the production of a heavy type of car with a displacement between 2.0 and 3.0 liters.
Engine, transmission and chassis
The six-cylinder in-line engine of the Hansa 3500 developed 90 hp (66 kW) at 3600 rpm. With a bore of 82 mm and a stroke of 100 mm, the displacement was 3485 cm³. The compression ratio was given as 6: 1. The hanging valves were operated by a side camshaft driven by spur gears via push rods and rocker arms ( OHV valve control ). The mixture was prepared by two flat-flow gasifiers of the Solex 35 BFH type .
The maximum speed of all body variants was 125 km / h.
The car had a four-speed gearbox with a center lever (stick shift). Speed levels two to four were synchronized. The rear wheels were driven.
The superstructures were mounted on a central box frame that was forked at the front and rear. At the front the car had independent suspension on two transverse leaf springs, and at the rear a pendulum swing axle with only one transverse leaf spring. All four wheels were braked hydraulically; the handbrake worked on the rear wheels. The cars were equipped with central lubrication .
The fuel consumption was around 17 liters / 100 km.
Bodies
The Hansa 3500 was available as a four-door sedan or four-door convertible sedan , the doors of which were hinged on the B-pillars - the front rear and the rear front. The streamlined bodies had a radiator grille sloping backwards between the rocket-shaped headlights. The fenders were pulled back with a swing; the front ended at the A-pillars , the rear in a flat tail.
