Could it be more recent that is looks? Like some Alfa 1750 replica.

It is as old as it looks and there is no Alfa Romeo connection.

Erdmann & Rossi or perhaps less well-known?

Neither one. In fact I'm not absolutely sure about the coachbuilder, but this one-off is very similar to a small series of bodies built on the same chassis by the coachbuilder I presume to be responsible for this one, too.

An Opel 1.8 by Karl Deutsch? Some parts look familiar from the Moonlight Roadster...

Yes, it is an Opel 1,8 Liter Roadster, built for Fritz von Opel. Because of the similarities to the Moonshine Roadster, I guess this was built by Deutsch too. Another point for you, well done.
