Just go ahead, Jean-Marie. Richard doesn't seem to answer.

As I believe this is unlocked I will answer:

- When was this car built: 1963/64
- Where did the headlamps come from: Fiat 1500
- Which car did the rear styling resemble: Borgward P100
- Which car did Walter Schätzle build later on: AWS Shopper 250, Goggomobile based. He also assembled around 140 Borgwards with leftover parts between 1963 and 1967.

No, it is still locked for Richard and Jean-Marie. A puzzle is locked as long as it is not unlocked by the puzzle poster.

If it wasn't my 1000th puzzle, I would just call it quits and delete it right now.
One point for Jean-Marie H and we forget about the extra questions.

I'm really terribly sorry, I don't know how I could have been so foolish as to answer before I was certain it was unlocked.
Please forgive me, I feel awful about having ruined your 1000th puzzle.
This is one mistake I'll never repeat.
I'm truly very sorry for what I did to you.

A very beautiful conversion,  I never could have guessed that it was a Borgward.

Congratulations for your 1,000 th and thanks for your contributions to AutoPuzzles !   I wonder how you manage to find such rarities.  But for sure you have a very powerful database.

Patrick  :)

It's a nice car indeed; I think that the moulding on the edge of front comes from Fiat 1800/2100, while the rectangular lights look like P-100 ones (I think they have later been used for Glas saloon too).

You are probably right. Schätzle was Borgward and Fiat dealer.
