Champion 250 with Fries (or Vischer?) Coupé bodywork

Who knows this car? It is one of my absolute favourites in mini car design.

Chassis + coachbuilding company = 1 point

Neither Denzel, nor built on a VW-chassis, nor is it from Austria...

I thought it was a Champion 250 not 400...

It is not a 400 and the bodywork has been made by another company.
Not precise enough, yet, to lock it for one of you...

I have it as a Champion CH-250 Fries but that is from a not-that-reputable source....

It´s also my source, I´m quite sure.

And I think it should be right.

So this is your point.

If anyone can proof different facts, please do not hesitate and show them!

And I´d love to see different views of this little gem with its Bugatti-style rims.

Meanwhile the same source has added another view of this coupe with slightly different trim, but claims that this one was done by Vischer.  ???
