The company was founded by [[Ernst Loof]], Georg Meier and Lorenz Dietrich who initially re-built and tuned pre-war [[BMW 328]] cars using components supplied by a customer, turning them into BMW-Veritas cars.<ref name=Beaulieu>{{cite book |last=Georgano |first=N. |title=Beaulieu Encyclopedia of the Automobile |year=2000 |publisher=HMSO |location=London |id=ISBN 1-57958-293-1}}</ref> The first car was used in 1947 by its owner [[Karl Kling]] to win at [[Hockenheimring|Hockenheim]] and subsequently become the 1947 German 2-litre champion. After only a few cars were made, following an objection from BMW, the cars became simply known as Veritas.
