I'm afraid I don't know what it's based on; I have very little information about it.
But I'm pretty sure it's not based on a German car and it definitely isn't based on a Trippel!

I don't know what the builder did for a living but unlikely he was a car designer.

All I know is who built it!
I'd be 99.9% sure it wasn't gas-powered however..

That's the one!
Unfortunately I don't know what it was based on but perhaps someone does?
Well done.
