Do you know what this is to gain a point?

That too is a repost but in the absence of a working search facility I cannot properly point to it. First search did show it as a puzzle by Tifosi, but more than that I cannot be bothered to fight.
Opinionated but sometimes wrong

This is a dutch car. I think it was called 'Helder'.

Well done Limo, you've got it.

According to "Autodesign in Nederland" (Jan Lammerse) this car, finished in 1956 after 18 months of work, was based on a 1938 DKW F7 chassis and 2-cylinder engine. It existed until 1981, when it was bought by someone who demolished the car and only used the chassis  :-\

It's time someone made that sort of thing a criminal offence!
