[grobmotorix]

Any ideas?

[grobmotorix]

No ideas? Promoted...

[grobmotorix]

Time to be promoted one step higher.

[Paul Jaray]

I think I saw this one...is it what it seems?
I mean a coachbuilt special car by an Italian coachbuilder?

[grobmotorix]

a coachbuilt special car by an Italian coachbuilder?

First part: YES
Second part: NO

[Allemano]

Auto Union underneath?

[grobmotorix]

Not Auto Union or DKW.

[Allemano]

VW underneath?

[grobmotorix]

Volkswagen, yes.

[Allemano]

I'm sure I've seen it somewhere else before.. German coachwork as well?

[grobmotorix]

No, the body was built outside Germany.

[Allemano]

made in Europe?

[grobmotorix]

Sorry for the delay, Allemano - yes it´s been built in Europe.

[Allemano]

In close proximity to Germany?

[woodinsight]

A wild guess - Serra body on a VW chassis?

[grobmotorix]

In close proximity to Germany?

Yes, the body was built in a direct neighbor country.

A wild guess - Serra body on a VW chassis?

Not Serra, but it´s got a VW chassis.

[Allemano]

BE-NE-LUX?

[grobmotorix]

Not one of those...

[pnegyesi]

It has a certain Ghia-Aigle flair to it

[grobmotorix]

It is a swiss-built body, but not by this company.

[Allemano]

bodied by Beutler?

[grobmotorix]

I assume this was a one-off.

I know the name of the car of the two builders, who share the same family name, so maybe they were brothers or father and son.

[Limo]

Thorndahl?

[grobmotorix]

Not Thorndahl.

To help I can say that there is an "germanic Umlaut" in the family name of the builders, that means an "ä, ö or ü".

For all non german speaking visitors and members of autopuzzles.com here´s more information about it:

Maybe Tüscher?
