He should have covered the tires before spraying the wheels.

For one point, please respond and identify this car.

Looks very much like a Cooper copy. Is it German?
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

I can't find this in the usual places. Is it one of Gottfried Vollmer's modified Cooper cars, which he called Atlas?

I'm sorry to be boring, but I'm going to have to try to solve this by a process of elimination. I'm fairly sure it's an eigenbau, and probably from the second half of the '50s, so I'll start offering names for which I have no photo.

Gerhard Brembach?

It is an Eigenbau, but not by Gerhard Brembach.

Almost correct. It is Günter Hildebrandt's Eigenbau racer from 1952, but I have a different engine. Locked for you.
