Identify this car and where it was built, for 1 point:

Google Search by Image continues to raise its ugly head on AutoPuzzles.
For the sake of our newer members who may not be aware of past discussions on it, Google Search by Image as a means of solving puzzles is banned on this website.

AutoPuzzles is primarily a game of automotive knowledge, not of who can copy and paste the quickest.

Have fun!

Yes there is!

Thanks, Carnut, but despite a drawn out search, I'm none the wiser, please open the gates - pleased I got the base car correct though!

Are you sure its Auto Union? ..... I'm seeing DKW lineage if I'm not mistaken.

There is DKW under there too, but also Auto Union (to be fair though, probably more DKW than AU).
I can see similarities to the Auto Union 1000 SP!

That's about the long and the short of it; another "Eigenbau".
Understand it's built on a '57 DKW F3-6 chassis.

Here an unmodified picture:

The car has survived and is currently for sale:
