I hope this is not a repost. Identify this car for a point! I need the name of its builder and the year when it was built to give you the point

This is a 1953 Thonfeld Roadster, build by the German Werner Thonfeld, who build this car cause he couldn't afford a Porsche 356. It's was originally based on the chassis of a Kübelwagen, later he rebuilded the car on the chassis of a beetle. There was only one made.
