Does the name of the manufacturer start with "B" ?

I really don't know what is this car, but my wild guess would be 1968 Burgert Nizza KS330  ::)

A part of the manufacturer's name starts with "B", but I don't know if this confuses you even more..

So... the manufacturer's name is not one word, right?

I really can't tell if it's a 'real' manufacturer. That's why I've marked it italic.

Forgot to mention that the manufacturer used British spare parts to built this car, but IMHO that's not crucial to solve this puzzle...

Was searching meanwhile. The British connection is a little bit more important as I've guessed at first.
Nevertheless the car was built in Germany.

Time for a second pic. It maybe won't help anyway, but it's a beauty in my opinion and I want to reanimate the discussion again.
Even more interisting (for me!) is that the car still exists. I've found it by chance this evening. Its colour changed over the years.

Any More information available?

P.S. Why I can't see "B" anywhere in the name of this car  ;D

P.S.  2 I have found that the model name of this car is possibly Dius... Three of these were made..

It's not denial, I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.
