Thanks saco, I didn't answer all the questions! But I had found the name from a race entry at Rostock in 1952, so I would have got it correct anyway!
In Wolfgang Melenk's book it is called Kranke Fahrzeug 3. We had Fahrzeug 1 (http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=20001) and Fahrzeug 4 (http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=19709) before.
