It looks like a BMW 700-based creation by Martini.

Right base, but not by Martini.

SWM BMW 700 GT?

Very good!

I haven't expected this would be solved so quickly.

We already had the SWM spyder before: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=7620.0

Quote

Der von Stefan und Wenzel Mannl in München 1963/64 gebaute und als SWM bezeichnete Berg- und Rundstrecken-Rrennwagen basierte teils auf dem BMW 700, hatte einen Gitterrohrrahmen und eine Kunststoff-Karosserie. Den Motor hatten sie von 40 auf 56 PS getunt. Das Fahrzeug wog nur 420 kg. Es folgten 1965 einige Spyder mit 700- und auch 850-ccm-Motor, die erfolgreich in etlichen Wettbewerben gefahren wurden.

@faksta: the coupé dates from 1964 not 1967.

Thanks for the point.
Just to add a little more - apparently four cars were completed by Stefan & Wenzel Mannl between 1964 and 1966.

...but according to my source three of them were spyders.

Geoffrey Hacker is looking for more info about SWM.
I saw that Allemano started both puzzles (the Spider and the Coupe) while Faksta and Woodinsight solved them.
Are there any other info available?

Will take a look at my car dictionary... Watch this space or FB.
