Still looking for any more info:

I have found that:

It was a Triumph TR4 proposal built by German Bernd Holthusen.

It may was Dius. Built in 1967 near Stuttgart. It used TR4 chassis/running gear and other components of German origin. 3 exmaples were made.

I have the unveiled picture of my puzzle car with numberplates of Hamburg, so I'm not convinced about the Stuttgart connection.
I know your source and your pics as well. It's from the forum part of a well known Anglo-Saxon page. Those guys are not that reliable.

Beautiful car.

Rather like a Dino mashed up with a 240z.

Yes, a really nice car! Only the wheelbase is slightly too short and it would look better if the windowline dipped along with the beltline.
The back- and the front design is adorable!  :hail:

Absolutely! It would be perfectly balanced with a slightly longer wheelbase, though. The back view is gorgeous.!

Yes - I was thinking exactly the same thing.
A very nice looking car except the wheelbase is a bit too short for the proportions! But considering what he had to work with it's a great job.
