Not that...was another long lasting puzzle of mine, solved not long ago (but not recently)
was it a German car or from Germany's neighbourhood...?

Whatever his name is: he did not improve the design of the original GLAS 1300 GT.
Or is it based on a 1304?

I'm afraid I can't understand the online translation of the page...it talks of a wrecked 1204, but in the technical spec reports a ca. 75 kW and 1300 cm³! Probably the author modified the engine too. I can ask him.

This car was built around Glas mechanicals from a german werkstatt (workshop), named after its creator's initials. This workshop seems to be a reference about these engines.

Was this car built in the 1960s? I don't think the shop is still around.

The car was reaty to hit the road in 1967. About the shop it was active for sure till the 90s, because in a picture there is a modern car.

I don't know where did you get that from, but it's not.
It's like a riddle in a puzzle, but, believe me, it's really easy.
1) I wrote it in red, capital letters. (do you remember where did I wrote anything in red capital letters?)
2) I gift it to all of you. (my english is not that good, I must confess, but sometimes I do select the words I'm using for a reason)
