Built by Paul Schütt from Flensburg, Germany, six wheels with patented run-flat tires. „Powered“ by a 10 hp Ilo engine, although the car had a curb weight of 690 kg.

I only know the pictured car with those small wheels. Do you have any other information?

Design of the body indicates that it originally wasn't intended to have a six wheels configuration only.

I guess those unused wheel arches found their raison d'être in the fact Schütt used large body parts of an Adler Autobahn (at least roof and doors).

I have the information from a reliable source (no, not Mr. Thyssen, although he features it, too). Do you want to PM your source?
