Related to Egon Brütsch? Has an air of Burgfalke/ Victoria Spatz about it.

There is one way (that I'm aware of) that this car is related to Brütsch - but it's not a Brütsch

I knew I had seen it somewhere. This car is K4 designed by Tom Killeen in 1959/1960  ;)

It may has never been built.

Well done sir! A well deserved point.

And do you know the connection between Killeen and Brutsch?

The connection is that they were both early monocoques. Brutsch made an entirely glassfibre monocoque in the early 1950s (with predictable results ending in a court action) while Tom Killeen claimed to make the first-ever monocoque design (long before the K4)
