The windscreen looks like it was originally used on a Wartburg. Is this a one-off from GDR?

Allemano · June 11, 2009, 11:34:38 AM

Sharp eye! Keep track of this!

On the other hand... it seems the Wartburg screen is the only spare part used of that company. (except of some interior parts as I've read now)

DynaMike · June 11, 2009, 01:03:26 PM

The wheels look Volkswagen and the indicators Mercedes-Benz 220 Ponton...

Allemano · June 11, 2009, 01:14:02 PM

Yes, it's a mongrel and not a very pretty one!

Allemano · June 11, 2009, 01:15:20 PM

I need the name of the builder and of the car it is based on

Allemano · July 09, 2009, 05:48:48 AM

Pros?

Allemano · November 12, 2009, 11:32:16 AM

To the graveyard..

bottom left shows the roadster version of the car before it got that ugly pale skin

Was its builder responsable (should I say guilty?) of other creations? Like Erdmann?

barrett · October 22, 2010, 12:25:57 PM

I thought this one was solved so I never bothered to find the name of the builder.... I just saved these pictures

Hopefully i'll be able to find it again.... It's based on a VW platform, that's all I know!

As far as I remember (I'll check it at home, later) it was the only car the builder ever made. (thank god!)

That's the one! I think it would be fair to lock this for you till your next reply.. (or for max. 72h!)

This car was named after it's builder. It's called "__-Coupé or "__-Wagen"
It's indeed built on a VW, though on a special VW.

I wonder if he was inspired by the Flintridge DKW Darrin - there are a few styling similarities

DeAutogids · December 03, 2010, 06:19:27 AM

Probablybased on a Kuebel.

Exactly! Go on!

DeAutogids · December 03, 2010, 12:17:44 PM

From Leipzig?

Allemano · December 03, 2010, 12:19:43 PM

No, the builder is from Berlin.

Allemano · May 16, 2011, 05:51:00 AM

I have it as Wxxxx Wxxxx

Wendax · May 16, 2011, 06:50:34 AM

Willy Weber?

Allemano · May 16, 2011, 07:00:20 AM

No.
Searching for clues I just found the location where it is currently exhibited:

Wendax · May 16, 2011, 07:05:26 AM

I know which collection it is, but still no name.

Allemano · May 16, 2011, 07:06:47 AM

ring ring!

Wendax · May 16, 2011, 07:18:05 AM

I didn't get that hint. But at least it seems as if the East German Porsche VW special we discussed recently (in connection with the Miersch-Porsche) has found its way into that collection, too.
