It actually staggers me just how many one-offs, home-builts etc there are out there.
I had absolutely no idea there were quite so many when I first discovered AP!

I don't know the exact build date, but I would guess some time around 1948/50.

It's the Huschke von Hanstein VW based car; built in 1947-8 by this pilot called the Racing Baron.

..because this is indeed what it is, built by Fritz "Huschke" von Hanstein out of aluminium.
Well done.
