Would this be the 1947 Swebe-DKW F3/500 built by Sven Andersson and Bengt Peterson?

No, it is neither Mitter nor Swebe (Swebe was Swedish).

This looks like a German fwd F3 car of c.1950.
Anything to do with Scampolo?

No, not related to Scampolo. And not F3.

I have it as "DKW Formelrenner 1959". I´m not sure, but it may be related to the name Volpini:

Not a hillclimb special, and I believe it is from 1958.
No relation to Volpini as far as I know.

It carries the builder's name.

I´ve scanned this particular photo from a 1959 ams magazine over ten years ago. Unfortunately I then was just interested in the design and did not save all the additional information in the file´s name... :(

It surely may be a 1958 car. Let´s keep digging.

Okay. What we know: It has to be a 1958 German DKW-powered Formula Junior. All we are lacking is the builder's name.
