Beer was the closest so far.

You're in the right business now.

Some help as this will be a hard nut I guess. The man who designed the motorhome/midget car left the big sparkling wine business already in 1965 aged 35 and founded a smaller more exclusive company.
The right of his name is now in the hands of a much bigger company still selling one brand under this name.

Is Henkell the large company?

The builder is Bernd or Bernt Carstens. I think Bernt is the correct spelling. The car appeared in a well known German magazine in 1992. Unfortunately I don't have access to the contents of the magazine.

That's right. I give you another 72h. Maybe you can find a way....

Not without paying for a scanned copy of the magazine, which (to me) would feel like buying a point. Let's see which of the fellow puzzlers has this magazine on his shelf.   :)

I don't have it from that magazine, but as far as I can tell my source isn't on any autopuzzler's shelf so far.
...and apparently not in their CD box either.. ;)

I've got that magazine, but no name mentioned there. But using a magnifying glass I could read "City Pick" at the back of the car. I guess that's the name you are looking for.
