this is probably a Porsche 911 or 912 base,the wheels looks older,by the color it looks like a factory car,but maybe a private built?

The easy bit is that it's Porsche-based, but neither 911 nor 912.
It's not a factory car but a private initiative.

No Aussie connection but it is based on a 356B though not with a 911 engine.

Built in 1961, yes, but I have a different builder's name (which I hope is right but it wouldn't entirely surprise me to find out it is one of the school's cars if you can prove it?)

Looks like the same car all right!
I actually had it as being built by Dr Klaus-Otto Räker, but maybe he's a lecturer at the aforementioned Schule.
Let's call it solved!

Dr. Klaus-Otto Räker is a dentist who owns that Kaiserslautern Porsche and exhibits it in his private museum "D' kleine Lemgoer".

Searching for the racing line.

For one point, please respond and identify this car by naming its base and its builder.
