Does this have any relationship to the VW Karmann Ghia?

That's about the right engine size, but not enough to characterize the pictured car. Still locked.

1130cc, I guess.  One of the first batch "Wekavia" glass fibre WD cars based on Kübelwagen underpinnings?

Yes, it is the very first WD aka Denzel, or to be precise a Volkswagen WD Equipment. The first six cars had the Wekavia fiberglass bodies you mentioned. The first two cars had no doors, well, the first car later got a side flap for easier entrance which could be called a semi-door. The car's nickname was Blauer Blitz (blue lightning).
We've had the plastic bodied Denzel with doors before: https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2015-44/solved-als097-denzel, as well as the first car with a steel body: https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2014-43/solved-wendax-1427-denzel-vw-wd-stahl-4-sport.
One more point for you.

Thank you for the point, and especially for the additional pictures and links which enhance the information in Martin Pfundner/Friedrich Ehn's  "Wolfgang Denzel" book.  The magic of "Autopuzzles" :thumbsup:
