Is this anything to do with Walter Bergstrom ?

I don't know, but probably home-built by an unknown maker.

The reason I mentioned Bergstrom is that he built a DKW sports car with TWO engines, and although I cannot find a photo, the car is said to have an attractive body with a rounded front grille and pontoon sides, rather like the Lancia D50. You have shortened the puzzle photo, and I thought maybe you were hiding the body style.

Yes, Pal, after giving away the source, I will lock it for you to name the base car.

An exclusive special body based on the rear wheel driven and almost entirely lost original DKW-model P 15 and 'PS 600-Sport', presented in 1930. This unique piece is 'coachbuilt' in a classical sense and meant as a special version of the original model of all DKW-vehicles from the nucleus of the Auto Union, established by the DKW founder Rasmussen in 1932. The body was created in the later GDR, before the Iron Curtain fell, combining components by Goliath, VW, DKW and other automobile manufacturers. The vehicle was in the possession of a South-German collector for a long time, before it was sold to an Austrian buyer, where it is still preserved.

Wow!

So if an old 1930 DKW PS 600 Sport was the basis car, it must have been radically modified:

Looking at the wheels, rather the P 15:
