Ah yes, this one is a one-ff on the base of a Harley Davidson with parts from a Fokker made in the Netherlands.

Completed at the end of 1950. It got him a job at DAF. They apparently scrapped the thing because of lack of money.

Yes, it is the 1950 car built by Jan Kuipers (not Kuiper).

One more point for you.
