Fellow Autopuzzlers, for a point please tell me who built this vehicle, powered by what, and the approximate year. As a bonus, I will throw in a hint: it's not a Jaguar!  ;D

The car was not built in Germany, but I know that it has elements from a German moped, and I imagine the wheels are probably among them.
