I've identified the event and discovered that I have a number of photos of this event in my archive, some even taken from the same spot by what must have been the same photographer. That said, there are no images of the puzzle car among them! I will have to do more searching later, but let me take a guess in the meantime: HAG?

Thank you!
To be precise, it was the 1924 ADAC-Kleinauto-Rennen im Taunus. I had a list of participating companies in one of my books (13 more possibilities would have been left. :D)

Good job! I only have a partial list of participants, unfortunately. This car was definitely new to me.
FYI this was the standard Alan body
