Amateur construction on the chassis Kdf 82. The body of the fiberglass. Enfine capacity of 1 000 cc. The vehicle built by Václav Cháňa ( Mladá Boleslav, then ever Czechoslovakia ). It was completed in 1962 and was named MAJKA. In 1967, the adjustment was made at the rear bodywork. The car was completely destroyed in a car crash. Mr. Cháňa stood next to the vehicle chassis Kdf. Given name MAJKA 2. This car exists.

Sorry, yes, clearly you are right.
Another case of World Wide Wubbish I think..

I got the photo (same one as your last one) off an American site and the car had the name of the guy who claimed to have built it from a crashed VW!

Needless to see I can't find the site again..

So you have a point and it's solved!

Apparently, this is a Majka Special by Vaclav Chaňa from Czechoslovakia (1962)

Oh no..  Another repost of one of my own previous puzzles...
You get the point anyway then this will be merged with the original.

Grob's tiny 1966 GDR magazine photo disappeared, but I believe this was it
