Some nice period photographs of the Brütsch 1200 were at auction a while ago:

Very closely indeed but as that was the convertible I thought the Coupe deserved its very own puzzle!

Since only 3 Brütsch 1200 are supposed to be built (plus one with plastic bodywork), the actual puzzle car is the left one  and the old puzzle car is the right one on the bottom-most picture posted by me. And the 1200 in the middle is probably the surviving one in the Engstingen museum.

It was only one of the three coupés built, that had this unique Wacker plastic body.
