NSU Prinz based special surely?

As far as I can recall, the Prinz was a [miniscule] saloon while the Sport Prinz was a coupé

The description says NSU Prinz and mentions the driver, I assume that's the same information Saco has. If you (D-Type) know more about this car, I would be very interested to hear.

The Sport-Prinz shared its mechanics with the Prinz 30 resp. Prinz 4. The puzzle car had a different racecar body anyway, so it surely can be Prinz-based.

To see what an NSU Prinz looks like, google it or go to Wikipedia.  The puzzle car may may well be based on an NSU Prinz and even captioned as an NSU Prinz but it is NOT an NSU Prinz.  

Remember that in SCCA terminology, the 'M' in 'HM' stands for Modified'

D-Type is correct.  This is an SCCA H-class Modified (HM) race car that used an NSU as a basis for its construction.
