Who knows this car?

It is obviously a clay scale model, however what was it supposed to be?

I would be surprised if the body was not designed by Frua...

Seat?

Car and design are neither Italian nor Spanish...

If you're trying to steer me to Renault Lord that's fine, but it means nothing to me - or Google so far as I can see!

Anything to do with DKW/Auto Union?

LOCKED for you!

At first I thought it was a model of the Darrin designed Flintridge DKW because it had a similar shaped horizontal dividing line - but the wrong windscreen shape. Then I thought the Welsch bodied DKW roadster, but that lacked the body line completely - so I have a photo of a very similar looking DKW coupe - with that characteristic line. I believe it was made by the organization called MHK.

My information is that it was an in-house project...

I would need a model name and/or the designer´s name for a point.

OK - please unlock. I cannot find reference to an in house car that looks like the model. Attached is the photo that made me think that the model might be a roadster version of this MHK built coupe.

Below is a resized version of the car you were thinking of and posted a picture of - and a link to where it was puzzled here earlier:

I believe the 'MHK' you mention actually stands for Meisterschule fuer Handwerker Kaiserslautern, whose students built many special-bodied VWs and DKWs amongst others in the 1950s/60s.

Was the car actually built and run - as opposed to a full size clay, ..... and is it on the net somewhere?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #18 on:** April 11, 2017, 01:34:38 PM »

It was a DKW/Auto Union in-house design - no connection to MHK...
