Yes, that's the car. It has been modified and looks far more modern.

I want to know the date and the event, although I confess I have no firm information about the driver, but according to my records, it's not Troeltsch.

You found it!

The car is generally known as the Burggaller car, because it was owned and updated by one-time Auto Union driver E G Burggaller.
