FRM Jaray 1935 Red by Autocult
As
big plans failed
The
driving forces behind the founding of FRM in the first half of the 1930s were
Stefan Fischer and Otto Reimann. FRM was a abbreviation and stood for ‘Fischer
Reimann Motoren’.
Stefan
Fischer brought technical knowledge to the company. He had studied vehicle design.
Through his studies and related interests, he made Paul Jaray’s acquaintance.
Paul Jaray considered Stefan Fischer as a promising talent. Merchant Otto Reimann
saw the potential but faced the task of financing the formation of a company.
The two men were able to convince the bank ‘IG Selig’ of their plans and they provide
with the necessary capital. Seven men initially found employment at FRM and
devoted themselves to building the first prototype.
In
1935, the test vehicle was put on its wheels. The gentlemen were satisfied with
their work towards the turn of the year, so that from spring 1936 longer test
drives – including to Berlin – were possible. One of the first trips led Stefan
Fischer to Switzerland to Paul Jaray, presumably to demonstrate the car to the
master of vehicle aerodynamics and probably also the mentor of Stefan Fischer.
From
a technical point of view, there was not much left that excluded the starting
of production, but the political development of those years became more and
more of a decisive factor. Stefan Fischer was Jewish and in 1938 he finally
decided to turn his back on his country and flee to Great Britain.

About Autocult
A relatively new maker of very well finished resincast models, established in 2015. Very imaginative choice of subjects, often concentrating on the more eccentric episodes in motoring history! Production limited to 333 pieces of each subject, which often means that we get one delivery and that is it, so pre-orders strongly recommended!! Made in China for Germany.
