All correct except you haven't quite given me the full name I was looking for.
Locked for you to complete.

'1500-RS' with engine type 4M 1,5 III RSD.  Correction on earlier message: no Elektron body on this particular car.

Sorry, but the puzzle car is the Elektron-bodied car (chassis # 60.012) in its initial outfit before it received the aerodynamial optimization (new front with integrated headlights, rucksack at the rear: https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2011-39/solved-pj316-borgward-1500rs-1958/).

The car in the previous post is a third-generation Borgward RS from 1956/58 with aluminium bodywork. You can tell the difference at the side view. The Elektron body didn't have any portholes, but a diagonally shaped engine hood.
