Don't know!
There is a technical college there that is known for building cars; maybe it's there?
Search and you will find! Locked for you for 24 h.

So was it built by the Meisterschule von Karosserie und Fahrzeugbau in Kaiserslautern?
I can find no connection between Porsche and Kaiserslautern but I think that college has a reputation for building special cars.
Google only ever brings up the same website I got the original info from so I can't get any further, and since I've actually already given you what you asked for in your original question (the identity of the car, not where it was built!) I don't think I can give you anything else.
"Kaiserslauterner Meisterschule für Karosserie- und Fahrzeugbau" aka "Karosseriebaufachschule Kaiserslautern" is the correct name. Declared as solved..

Thanks!
Are the Meisterschule von Karosserie und Fahrzeugbau and the Karosseriebaufachschule Kaiserslautern one and the same place then?  Did it change its name - or are there two separate colleges in Kaiserslautern?

And is it a 356C rather than a 356B as it says on the 'site where I got the info?

So I got there in the end!
And is it a 356C then not a 356B?

hmmm.. I got 356 C from another source, but the Aichele books says clearly 356 B..
Never mind I'll change it again..

8 Justicialista Porsche '55?
Is it a Porsche? I don't know, but it's apparently a Justicialista related car as far as I know.
I have a different year and a different name for it, but would like to learn more about this.
Locked for you!

Justicialista Sport Coupé '54 with Porsche engine and modified front?

Unfortunately I'm going to have to wait until/in case this reaches the Pro board now!

It's ok roger, I made plenty of mistakes when I first started as well. I have already solved # 13...so you must work on another car within this puzzle.

I believe No. 11 is 'Schmoz' built in the old DDR in 1974, based on a VW but with various other Eastern European bits and pieces?
