A young automobile mechanic built in 900 hours of work this sports car without doors.
For suspensions was used an old DKW F7 from 1936. The engine was the DKW F-8, had 692 cc engine with an output of 20 hp.
The Kotfügel Iieferte an Opel Captain, the rest of the steel body itself was tailored. The car weighed 700 kg, it is said to have reached a top speed of 110 km / h. This one-off was built in Germany around 1956.

I am not sure, to be honest.

I have scanned this photo with a letter of the builder, that he sent to a German car magazine many years ago.

I would not say you could not find it in the internet...

If there's a way to find out, I'll be glad to look for it, but if I just have to gess at a German name, you can unlock, since I do not have that magazine ;)
Is this car featured online anywhere (with the answer, I mean)?

The puzzle car was built by Fritz Peters, but it is not the SWF 58. Peters just refers in his letter to the SWF 58 which was featured in hobby magazine before. You can find the SWF 58 here: https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2011-39/solved-wendax-050-swf-58-by-klaus-lohr/
