An enthusiastic driver.

For one point, please respond and identify the base car and the coachbuilder. For an extra point, name the venue, the driver and his usual driving activities.

Mainly not

Yes, now for the coachbuilder

pnegyesi · « **Reply #19 on:** December 25, 2012, 05:00:27 AM »

I assume this was a one-off racecar built by an individual

Wendax · « **Reply #20 on:** December 25, 2012, 05:11:41 AM »

It probably was a one-off, but I have a well known coachbuilder's name for the bodywork. I don't know how trustworthy the source is in respect of this bit. The base car, the venue, the driver, its profession and the date seem to be contemporary information.

pnegyesi · « **Reply #21 on:** December 25, 2012, 05:18:21 AM »

Karmann?

woodinsight · « **Reply #22 on:** December 25, 2012, 05:41:37 AM »

Wendler?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #23 on:** December 25, 2012, 12:09:30 PM »

Hornig?

Wendax · « **Reply #24 on:** December 25, 2012, 01:07:42 PM »

Neither of them
