Yes that's the car. Although my source calls it a Servus Hurrikan, I'm pretty sure it is the same car. A point for you.

Yes, it is a Custoca Hurricane. Locked for you to find coachbuilder, basic-technics and year of construction.

You are right. Ducamax66, this is your next point.
Sorry, but this is the second re-post of this car. My source did not mention the name of the company. So I only realised the problem when I had already started my puzzle. Please merge, thank you.

You probably searched for Hurricane, but it was called Hurrycane.

Gerhard Höller was a very good friend of mine for many, many years. Sadly, he left us with cancer some years ago. His first creation, the 'Strato', had been designed  by his own. The first (!) version of the 'Hurrikan' (see introduction 'Auto-Revue 7/71) was a simple Fiberfab copy! (see attachments)
