geographypuzzles.com! Between Austria and Switzerland there's clearly only one country named Liechtenstein.
Probably you mean Germany though one can't be sure to 100%

Yes, this was built in Germany. And to make it easier, you can name 2 or maybe even 3 German companies which had some relations to this car

Glas?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #28 on:** March 01, 2010, 06:26:20 AM »

But Glas wasn't one of them

Wild guess: BMW?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #30 on:** March 01, 2010, 06:49:10 AM »

There's no relation a BMW either.

VW, Opel, Ford? (still avoid to relate MB to this car!)

pnegyesi · « **Reply #32 on:** March 01, 2010, 07:13:33 AM »

Volkswagen and Ford which I was after.

Clue time: donor was a Volkswagen.

Belgium?

No, this car was built in Germany, by a man who's somehow related to Ford (Clue No2

) using a VW as a donor. When I researched the car on-line to see what's available, it turned out that this ex-Ford guy went on to become someone who had a relation to another German car maker. In an interview, which is available on-line he mentions this very car as a catalyst which was so well received that it changed his career.

Related to Ford as an engineer or rather a business man?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #36 on:** March 01, 2010, 01:04:34 PM »

he worked for Ford but not as an engineer

pnegyesi · « **Reply #37 on:** March 19, 2010, 02:13:10 PM »

And the 3rd company is Porsche. This guy was an ex-Ford employee, who built this car on the basis of a Volkswagen. It attracted enough attention which prompted him to set up his company which worked on Porsche cars. A lot of clues

Alois Ruf?

Vittorio Strosek?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #41 on:** March 20, 2010, 09:10:26 AM »

Not him

ImpishGrin · « **Reply #42 on:** March 20, 2010, 09:33:19 AM »

I can think of three important german Porsche companies: Ruf, Strosek and Gemballa. And Uwe Gemballa seems to be too young for this car - it looks like it was made in late 60s or very early 70s.

Or maybe he's not a tuner but for example prepares Porsches for competition?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #43 on:** March 20, 2010, 09:35:30 AM »

You're right. There's another long-running and famous German company which tunes and races Porsche cars

ImpishGrin · « **Reply #44 on:** March 20, 2010, 06:55:46 PM »

Maybe one of the Kremer brothers? I am running out of options...

guido66 · « **Reply #45 on:** March 20, 2010, 07:11:43 PM »

Techart?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #46 on:** March 21, 2010, 12:38:34 AM »

None of the above

Arunas · « **Reply #47 on:** March 21, 2010, 03:44:42 AM »

DP Motorsport?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #48 on:** March 21, 2010, 04:02:20 AM »

Okay, you found the company. Now, all I need is the name of the guy who built the car and the name of the car

!

And I am feeling generous, so locked 'til your next reply

What a lucky guess! The problem is that I don't have so much time for searching. Maybe within next 48 hours.
