Is it the VW Eigenbau built by Siegfried Seifert? (I'm not 100% sure that I've got his first name is correct)

Sorry Faksta, but 250gto got it right, as that is indeed the car.

Well, "Eigenbau" means "Self-built", so it's probably not the offcial name for this car :)
It's not denial, I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.

A lot of German cars of the time were one-offs. Often they were simply recorded as VW or BMW Eigenbaus (Specials) on official race entry lists.
