Seemingly too tricky for the Rookies, but much too easy for an Expert!

Looks like a Pininfarina-bodied Peugeot 403, but that would be too easy

You're right, that would be too easy, so it's not a Peugeot 403, although you are right about the other bit!

Is it a Pininfarina proposal for BMC?
Looks a bit Austin-like to me with that windscreen (from an A60?)

No, not a BMC proposal (despite looking a lot like an Austin A40!)

OK then.  It's a one-off prototype made in 1956 by Pininfarina for DKW.
That's all I can find for the moment!

That's all you need to find because your answer is spot on!  Well done, you have another point.

This is one of the rare Pininfarina cars that is not listed in the Pininfarina Catalogue Raisonné book.
(another one is the other DKW bodied car.  Coincidence?) 
Can you please reveal the source where you've found it?
