The 2 Litre Brennabor Typ E is a car manufactured, briefly, by Brennabor in 1933 as a successor to the company’s Typ B “Juwel 6.
The Typ E was powered by a 6-cylinder 2-litre side-valve engine, mounted ahead of the driver and delivering 38 hp at 3,200 rpm. Power was delivered to the rear wheels through a single-plate dry clutch and a four-speed gear box controlled using a centrally positioned floor-mounted gear stick. A freewheel device within the clutch was offered as an option.
The car sat on a U-profile pressed steel chassis with rigid axles and semi-eliptical leaf springing. It was offered only as a four-door sedan/saloon. The mechanically linked foot brake operated directly on all four wheels, while the handbrake operated on the rear wheels.
At the same time, the company launched the 2.5-litre Brennabor Typ F. This was similar in most respects, but retained the larger 2460 cc engine from the Typ B “Juwel 6. Thus equipped, the Type F provided 45 hp of output.
1933 was a year of continuing economic difficulty for the German economy. Brennabor's output had continued to slide, from 1,655 units the equivalent of 3.0% of the German passenger car market in 1931, to 522 units, equivalent to a market share of 1.3% in 1932. By the end of 1933 the company had abandoned automobile production in order to focus on light-weight motor bikes. When automobile production was suspended, it is estimated that the combined output of Typ Es and Typ Fs amounted to approximately 200 cars.
