500cc Formula 3 - Josef Ortschitt's Weiser Windsbraut BMW.

Richard Weiser gave up racing in 1952 and handed the car over to Josef Ortschitt. The photo was probably taken on July 5, 1953, when Ortschitt won the Formula 3 race at the Halle-Saale-Schleife. At least he had the same start number 137 there. The car itself was converted according to the Formula 3 regulations during the winter of 1950/1951.

The last post makes sense. I don't have any reference books about this car, but I see that it first raced in rear-engined form in 1951, but Richard Weiser raced a front-engined car in 1950, and a lot of this puzzle car has similarities. I think there's a good chance he rebuilt the car with the engine at the back.
