It is Alfred Fegers' Eigenbau from 1949 with Volkswagen Beetle running gear.

I have other photo:

Serra gets the point. If you look at the puzzle photo you will see the letters AF painted on the front. I hoped people wouldn't notice that. Not much is known about the car.

Alfred Fegers most probably also built this one: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=24222

Another nice picture of the puzzle car:

The steering-wheel must have been removeable! Where is it?

I would think so.

Possibly a reference to the character in Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream", rather than anything to do with ice hockey!

Or the fly in the "Biene Maja" (Maya the Bee) novel by Waldemar Bonsels?
