Is this a german one-off of the 1940s?

Was it produced in small numbers?

Not a one-off, not produced in small numbers.  So, was it a mass-produced sporting car?

Dear D-type, please be so kind and try to read questions ans answers as complete ones, and don't take parts out of the whole context:
Question: Is this a german one-off of the 1940s? Answer: No
Question: Was it produced in small numbers? Answer: No
It is a one-off.. and not of the 1940s and not German, because it is..

Was it british?
Yes. LOCKED for 'kwgibbs' for three attempts to find the solution


kwgibbs

Actually no idea what it is,but was it a Lanchester model of 1950s?

fromwien

I do not know the donor car too, only the builder's name and little information about the engine. Not 1950's

I see: It's back to the confusing Boolian Logic

Sorry, 'D-type', but the question: "German one-off of the 1940s", describes exactly a car, only one time built in Germany, 1940-1949.
This isn't equivalent to three different questions:
1) German?
2) One-off?
3) Of the 1940s?

Exactly. 
Anybody else on here would have replied "One-off but not German and not 1940s" or said "One question please". 
Saying a simple "No" gives the false impression that it is not a one-off

I hope, I described as clear as possible, what I understand by the question 'German one-off of the 1940s'. It describes exactly a car, only one time built in Germany, between 1940-1949. No more, no less.

In case I confused you, I will provide further hints:
1) It is British (not German)
2) It is a one-off
3) It is of the 1940s
4) I have no proper name for the car, but the name of the builder
5) I have little information about the engine of the car
6) I have another picture of the car, which I attached to this reply proudly
7) I will UNLOCK to give everybody a next chance to solve this puzzle soon

Trust me, further helps and hints are guaranteed, to get all my remaining puzzles solved as soon as possible

UNLOCKED and up to the Masters

V8 Special by F. Holland of Derby. Bespoke tubular chassis. Engine, gearbox, and rear axle were from a Ford V8 30 hp. The car is 14.5 feet long with a wheelbase of 9.5 feet. The source is from 1949, so it was built sometime prior to that.
