Nice  :) There seem to be differences, though: the first car has its rear wheels placed quite far forward; the second car has a slightly different front (grille is missing the lower strip), compared to the third car.

I found a source that mentions that this car was available in 2 different wheelbases. What's the point if the body is the same length?  ;)

The pictures from Arunas are from the 2001 IAA where this car was displayed as part of the 50 years of IAA celebration . It was discovered upside down in a junkyard in 1968.

It's a german Wendax WS-750 from 1950.
Produced, if I'm not mistaken, by Draisinenbau Dr. Alpers, designed by Adolf Alpers.
