Amazing! Is it a "prototype" or a "special"?

Never heard of that one...

Thank you for posting!

But I can´t imagine that this was an official prototype.

The well known Janus was a kind of improved version of the Dornier Delta, a very experimantal and progressive design.

This roadster has a pre-war design and looks like a self-built project.

Those late beetle rear lights indicate it has been re-done (or even built?) in the late 1960-1970s.

Would be great to get any more information...

Just to clarify the reference to Walter Heger, João's photo is from the 2001 ADAC Hessen-Thüringen "Oldtimerfahrt".

Walter and Katinka Heger are the driver and passenger, respectively. Nothing to do with the bodywork!  ;)

Well I'm frequently referred to as an old fart, but it's not the German word (referring to travels...)!
Just sounds the same...
