Just came across this ad from a German magazine many years ago.
Apologies for the poor image.

The car would appear to date from 1953 and I wonder if it was re-bodied in 1964.
Any thoughts on who may have been responsible for the coachwork?

The body was built in 1964 by the Meisterschule Kaiserslautern for an American enthusiast. You can find a lot of pictures of this car, if you google "Veritas RS Coupe 1953". It was for sale some time ago by a well-known German car dealer.
