"Auto History Journal" from 1978 indicates:

in July 1936 he received a new car body from Sofus Larsen's bodywork factory in Glænøgade, Østerbro, Copenhagen

The final bill for the bodywork was kr. 4903.

If true, the point should go to whoever mentioned "Sofus" first.

So that seems to have been solved then.
Unfortunately Bill is no longer with us, having passed away a few months ago.
Will move the puzzles to Solved.

OK, since I can't give a point to Bill I've given it to you.  You did indeed mention the name first, although it was Bill who said it was Sofus Larsen who re-bodied it.
