Allan did it 98%! It is not a BMW (Bayerische Motorenwerke) from bavarian Munich, but an EMW (Eisenacher Motorenwerke) from east german Eisenach.

This is the original clay model for a EMW 340 based sports car. In reality the EMW 340-1 looked like this:

I shouldn't argue, but in the book "Meilensteine aus Eisenach" the authors (Reiche & Stück) tell us that the EMW name dates from June 1952 and as the BMW/EMW 340 dates from 1949 I'd say the clay and the first cars were BMW

you´re right. But with the occuoation of Germany it was clear that all companies in the russian sector will be completely divided from its western parts.

I just wanted to show that this was an Eisenach built post-war BMW/EMW from the russian zone.

Three and a half years later I´ve found an awesome photo of the real thing from the very early years:
