I don't think it's Stirling Moss; it is more likely to be one of the many German BMW-based cars of the early fifties.

Apologize, but I need another few days as I temporarily haven't got access to my data.

Back when the drivers were fat and the tires were skinny.

Sorry. I didn't give you all the information:  It is a Formula Three machine.

It is the G.v.B. by Bobby Kohlrausch, a Formula 3 car pictured at the Avus in 1953 and a repost: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=16965

Oh sorry, I didn't see that's a repost.   But for me, this photo is a F2.  This project was led by Bobby Kohlrausch. This one modified the GvB of Formula 3 in a Formula 2.  You won the point Wendax.
