I think that this is a DKW Monza.

[Ray B.]

And you think right.

[Paul Jaray]

That's the one I saw at the Mille Miglia...

Your chance to walk off with a point

Another nice picture:

All those pictures posted before show the Monza from the right side.
Are those three exhaust pipes original?

[Allemano]

Reminds me of the Saab Facett one-off which has the same 3 pipes design feature and basically is based on the same DKW engine.

Right, thank you for that hint!

Some additional information on the pictured cars:

The puzzle picture is taken from the first DKW 3=6 Monza brochure and is probably a retouched picture of the Monza record car which gave the well-known name to it (windscreen with rounded corners, but edgy side window cutouts, just one windscreen wiper). Body by Dannenhauer & Stauss.

The pictures in reply #2 and #13 show the second DKW Sportcoupé built by Dannenhauer & Stauss, built on the narrower F91 chassis.

The pictures in reply #3 and #12 show Monzas bodied by Schenk (cp. https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2017-46/wendax-4192/)

The picture in reply #14 shows a Monza bodied by Massholder (#18 of 21 Massholder cars).

This was probably the engine measurement at the end of the record run.

[Wendax]

I moved your post to the Monza post which shows the record car. 
Yes, the picture shows the record cat at the Monza race track.

[sichel]

It was already clear that the photo was from Monza, look at the start number. The question was why the head had to come off?

[Wendax]

Yes, according to Karl Fr. Trübsbach's report "Geschichte einer Rekordfahrt" it is just as you assumed:

Das "gute Stück" wird sofort von den Sport-Kommissaren übernommen, der Motor darf nicht mehr angelassen werden, der Zündschlüssel wird dem Abnahme-Kommissar übergeben. Man schiebt den Wagen in die Boxe und beginnt mit der eingehenden Nachkontrolle, ohne die ja kein Rekord anerkannt werden kann. Der Zylinderinhalt wird ausgelitert, Hub und Bohrung werden nachgemessen.
