The Veritas car firm was founded by former employees of BMW with the intention of building sports cars based on the pre-war BMW 328, using the 1.971cc 80bhp BMW engine. In 1950 a new 1.988cc engine was developed for the Veritas car and built by Heinkel which produced 100bhp. This new version was offered in Saturn coupé, Skorpion convertible, Komet sports car and Komet S sports racing car forms with the engine output developed to 150bhp. The Dyna-Veritas car was a two-seater convertible using a 744cc opposed twin engine and front-drive components by Panhard. The Veritas car was produced from 1950 until 1952, and carried Veritas-designed bodies built by Baur of Stuttgart. Financial difficulties forced the Veritas car firm to close down in 1950, but it was re-established as Veritas Nürburgring by Ernst Loof. The 1.988cc Heinkel engines were also used for the new models Veritas cars, but the new Veritas car company achieved no lasting success and production of Veritas cars was abandoned.
