The car was never raced. It had an Adler engine (995cc) It was on exibition at the "Internationale Automobilausstellung unter dem Funkturm" in Berlin with the FWB-Nachwuchs. It was built by Bernd Cappenberg. I think it was named Cappenberg-Versuchsbau. Body was made by Rometsch.

Bernd Cappenberg is the name I was looking for. One more point for you.
