It is a swiss-built body, but not by this company.

I assume this was a one-off.

I know the name of the car of the two builders, who share the same family name, so maybe they were brothers or father and son.

Not Thorndahl.

To help I can say that there is an "germanic Umlaut" in the family name of the builders, that means an "ä, ö or ü".

For all non german speaking visitors and members of autopuzzles.com here´s more information about it:
