Solved: Allemano's № 607 - Heini Walter's AFM, 1954 bodied by Fridolin

I haven't found the photo of the car but after a search I can only guess that this is the car owned by the Swiss Peter Hirt. Possibly built 1949 and later rebodied by Touring or perhaps Drews?

Not that, sorry. A short time ago you were closer to this...

Open or still locked?

one more round for woodinsight, after that it's open again.

Thanks for the lock but I haven't found anything else that relates to a non-German driver related to AFM.
Please open it again - I'm very interested to learn what it is......

Okay then sharks, have a go!

In 1954 the Swiss racing driver Heini Walter bought Hans Stuck's AFM Monoposto. The coachbuilder Fridolin from Freiburg (Germany) built a sports car body for this chassis. Heini Walter wasn't very successful with the AFM.

Right you are Wendax, another point for you!

@woodinsight: do you remember Heini Walter?

Well done Wendax.

Yes I remember Heini Walter but didn't associate him owning an AFM - I'm learning so much through this site!
