This was a 1931 saunders sketch to show Hans Rohrbach,s idea of a midget car with motors in the wheels.I believe the Rohrbach was a 1948?

Very good found! Yes, it is a Rohrbach from 1948
Not a sketch, but a model shown at the 'Leipziger Frühjahrsmesse 1948'

It was a redesign of his cca 1931 concept: https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2016-45/wendax-1866

Another car by Hans Rohrbach that really was built can be seen here: https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2019-49/gte4289_74
