"The story of the car is that it was built for the german Luftwaffe in the WWII as a fast postal express delivery car. Two cars were built - with the help of the famous german aerodynamic pioneer Reinhard von Koenig-Fachsenfeld. In reason of the war, the car was finished in the late 1940s, a few years after the war. Sagitta was the name of a rich industial manager, who lend the money to finshed it. The car is in one hand since 1956 and the owner worked on the car when he just left the school. The car was located in the german Ruhr-Zone in western Germany. The car was restaured by the owner during the past 15 years - but it is not 100 % perfect"
