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% ;D

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

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

Volkswagen and Ford which I was after.

Clue time: donor was a Volkswagen.

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?

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 :)

Vittorio Strosek?
It's not denial, I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.

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?
It's not denial, I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.

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

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

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.
