Over the past months some more pictures of unknown homebuilt cars have caught my eye. Most of them are from Eastern Germany. Some base cars are recognizable. I don't really expect  any information there to be available about their builders anymore, but who knows? Otherwise just enjoy this puzzle as a sequel to the previous Eigenbau features / puzzles.

Most of the pictures turned up at a well known online auction site. The sellers usually don't know anything about the car or even are unaware that the pictured vehicle is something special. Unfortunately some bidders know about the rarity of the subject, so that whenever I tried to get one of these photos, the prices went far beyond my limit. I remember one auction particularly, where a tiny picture of a Staunau reached more than 70 €, although no identification of the car came with it. So keeping the online picture is all that`s left for me.  :)

No. 6 has turned up on a well-known "old-timer" site described as en Eigenbau probably with some EMW and IFA parts, but beyond that with no information and no-one has made any identification of it...

Yes, going by the badge it has to be BMW-based.

Moved from the Black Hole. I will try to incorporate these cars into my Eigenbau of the month thread over the next months / years, so this post will be obsolete some time in the future.
