I'll have to dig a little but I've very few time.
Thank you for your offer...If I'm not done in few ours, you can unlock.

I found this car as I was on search for further informations about one of my own puzzles...

The guy who created this replica was mentioned here before.
I'm afraid you have to go back a little in time to find his name.
At least one of the Pro's already posted a car of his design..

BTW: I don't know of any relation to the MG you've mentioned.

You are right...it was the Frazer Nash by Blakeney, but it's not that.
Is this car a retro or neoclassic or a sheer replica? (or none of the above)

There's no definite benchmark car for this. The builder did it only in the style of those vintage racers. The engine however is an original Maserati powerplant...

No, most of the other cars made by this workshop were of a completely different kind.
Neither replicas nor neo-classics.

However there's one car in the style of the sixties which – I would say – is the most common of his works..

Neither customs nor hot-rods.

They mainly did conversions of certain mass production cars. (~ 20 were built according to my sources)
"Custom" is not the right word here.

Not buggies.

They made other cars as well, but searching the net shows almost only one car* which is based on a mass production car. Not from Germany..

*maybe yet more common as the one I've mentioned before..   :-X
