This is a Gottlob Espenlaub postwar design.
Nice photoshopping of the company name on the hood !

Just to differentiate it from the other cars by Gottlob Espenlaub: this is the 1952 version of the Espenlaub 1000.

This 1965 ad for an Eigenbau car looks a lot like an Espenlaub 1000, although fitted with a Ford 12 M engine instead of the Ilo two-stroke.

A German video documentary can be found under the words: "Autopioniere - verrückt, verpönt, vergessen" which also features the Espenlaub creations.
