There was a 1956 Zündapp Coupé prototype that was looking very much like this one.
And as far as I know, this Coupé was deigned by Pininfarina.

Is there any relation to Zündapp or Pininfarina at all?

There's no Zündapp relation and Pininfarina wasn't involved.

Unfortunately I only got small pics. Maybe I get bigger ones tomorrow, but can't make any promises.

For heaven's sake how did you get this one?  :faint:

Everything is correct except of the year! It was built in 1961.  :thumbsup:
