Not them.

VEB Waggonbau Bautzen, formerly Linke-Hofmann-Busch?

Exactly! It was only a matter of time!
If you search the internet you'll find that car mentioned, but not shown on their website.

Found it (I think they mixed up Junkers and Messerschmitt in their text  )
Funny thing that this microcar wasn't mentioned in any book about microcars or East German cars so far. Do you know whether it used the unusual two-stroke Boxer engine of the IFA BK 350 motorcycle?

[Allemano]

I talked with the current owner and he said it's equipped with a 350cc Jawa engine.

For Information:

In the meantime I bought exactly that car with the original documents from 1959.

Dezember 2012 I started a public question for more information in the  "Oldtimer Markt" magazine in Germany and talked to a few surviving veterans of the "Waggonbau Bautzen".
They told me, that the directors / technical directors ...  of that plant planed to build 7 cars, but had to stop that projekt because of political problems. The exactly number of cars built is not known, but I found no further car.

The history page og the "Waggonbau Bautzen" got some pictures and information from me for their homepage.
