From the time when we were happy with less...

For one point, please respond and identify the base and the driver, if not the builder.

The basic style highly reminds me of the Bugatti Tank car, as it is commonly refered to as ?
Roughly 1929-31, Bugatti base?

I don't know.  ;)
I found it on the web, and I don't know a book where it is in.

Was the builder already mentioned on AP? Maybe in a different puzzle?

The name I have wasn't mentioned on AP before. I'm not quite sure whether he is the builder or the second owner, probably rather the latter.

Yes, that's it. It has a 200 cc DKW engine. I guess, 1930 is the date of the main components, the car looks younger, probably early post-war.
