It looks like a wild mixture of a VW Beetle, a Citroen 2CV and a Buggy. And of course, it is German.

You've basically got all the right ingredients!  So, do you know what it is?

Unfortunately not, and I have no idea where to look in order to find out.

Built without brakes?  Strange!

At last, after almost two years we finally have a winner!  Well done Wendax, this is the 2CV-based Libelle, made by Knut Villing in Stuttgart in the late 1980s/early 1990s.  Two points to you cracking this longer-term PH puzzle.
