 Petermax Muller's  VW-based Pertrix eigenbau from 1950

I have a different name and driver/constructor.

Can you prove yoour guess?
Maybe you can show a different Photo?

[D-type]

No I can't prove it.  I have seen pictures of Petermax Müller's Pertrix cars (named for a sponsor).  They had all-enveloping bodies with had sweeping wings.  The central section looks very similar and I thought it might be one with the wings removed and cycle wings fitted to make it a 'intertyp' usable as a sports car or as an open whheeler with the wings removed.
I also owe Petermax Müller's memory an apology - the car was not an eigenbau as he built at least six cars.

Having got that out of the way, could this be Gottfried Vollmer's VW-based special

[grobmotorix]

No, sorry. It also is not a Vollmer VW.

I'm trying to read the initials on the nose - it looks like an F and an A. Are these the initials of the constructor ?

[grobmotorix]

I have a different name of the driver & constructor.

It is Paul Dübbers' AF from 1950

[grobmotorix]

Exactly!

I saw a 1950 racing magazine last weekend with exactly this picture in it.

Coincidence sometimes helps...

Does anybody know, what AF stands for?

It can´t be Alex von Falkenhausen like in AFM, can it?

[Wendax]

AF stood for Alfred Fegers, cp. http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=28272.msg329750#msg329750
