There's not much I know about this car except of the engine's donor, body and chassis design, name of the builder (?), where he came from and a plate in front of the car.
Please respond below if you know the make and model designation builder and the donor of this car. One point for the right answer.
Another point is waiting for any more significant information.

I believe it's a hard nut, so, skip the Experts and directly to Professionals.
Citroën ID/DS as donor?
Not that!
E-type windshield?
Hard to say, but I believe rather not!
VW base; Tony Lapine design?

Not VW based and not Lapine.
(two-questioner, eh? ;D though cleverly camouflaged with a semicolon...)
It's not designed by any common designer
German?
Yes!

You asked for a multi-part-part answer, no?
German donor as well?
That's what my source reports! :)

I guess there will be a time for multi-aswers, but not now!
DKW?
Not DKW...
Recently I figured out when it was published.
Borgward?
Neither Borgward...
Mercedes-Benz?
Porsche is still up for grabs... :D
Rear engined; NSU?

Yes, 75america has a good nose! ;)
I guess it won't get easier, though.. :-\

Jean-Pierre Wimille?

It's not designed by any common designer
nor any known car constructor/engineer. :-\
This one was entirely built in Germany and about 15-20 later than the famous cars of Jean-Pierre Wimille.
:doh:
Black Hole sun?
I only know it´s a car engineering student´s work from the german Freudenstadt (FDS-C 406) area who´s built it within 1200 hours.
But still no name available...
Here´s the side view:
The plate fits, though I thought it wasn't a cabriolet. Anyway thanks for the pic, but that's not enough for a point.. :-\
To the Black Hole for further discussion..
Sadly enough I was not able to find any further information about it....
I have only the caption under the unaltered pic.
And I took it from a source you definetly know as well...
Na toll, jetzt haste mich scharf gemacht, doch noch weiterzusuchen, obwohl ich nix finden werde :D...
Surprisingly enough, it is not based on a NSU TT, or at least a 1000 or 1200. It is based on a Prinz 4, has a plastic body and it appeared in the summer of 1965, but still no name.
There's a better known car make with the same name. Or better say specialist.
Bitter?
Not Bitter, but from a German speaking country
Switzerland? Cheetah?
not Swiss.
From Austria like Denzel?
:faint: you must have the sixth sense as it is indeed DENZEL! :applause:
Only one little step to go. Get me the forename and two BH-points are yours!
Locked for you till your next reply!
One small step for those knowing, but a giant leap for those who don't know.
I don't have any idea to find this one out. So I'll place an uneducated guess: Peter?
No. Where's your sixth sense?
I've found it on the internet...
--r-
Still locked?
Of course not after such a long time! ;D
OK - I'll guess Karl
Kurt?
Jörg Denzel?

Yes! Well done Wendax! :)
2 Points!
In this case I break an unwritten rule and leave the watermark as it is..
Fun fact of the day. The car was mentioned in a 1966 issue of Auto Motor und Sport. In the previous issue this car was featured as a small ad. Probably the intro was featured to boost its sale
