It's the 1954 Koopmikroon (or koopmicron) from Eindhoven, built by Koopmans and Mikkers, with porsche engine.
Toine Hezemans, a former dutch racing driver, says it didn't have a Porsche engine, but sources in literature say it does.

The father of Hezemans also drove a Porsche built by Mikkers, it was called "Strijkijzer'.
Does anyone have a picture or info of this car?
