Yes, just tell me who was responsible for the bodywork and the point is yours. Locked for you.

You are right. Gerhard Macher was responsible for turning the Zoller Grand Prix car into this sports car racer. So the point is yours. What I intended to ask though was: where was the coachwork done? Any idea?

The reference I have found is somewhat sketchy.  Was it built in Darmstadt by Autenrieth?

No, Autenrieth bodied the initial Grand Prix racer. One more guess before I'll reveal the coachbuilder.

I haven't the faintest idea.  I see that Herbert Wimmer rebodied one of the monoposto cars so it wasn't him.

According to the auctioneer the bodywork was done by the Reichsfachschule für Karosseriebau (National school for coachbuilding).

The car was also known as the M-Sportwagen, M obviously standing for Gerhard Macher.
