No ideas? Promoted...

Time to be promoted one step higher.

Auto Union underneath?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #6 on:** October 05, 2010, 12:04:18 PM »

Not Auto Union or DKW.

VW underneath?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #8 on:** October 06, 2010, 01:24:49 PM »

Volkswagen, yes.

Allemano · « **Reply #9 on:** October 06, 2010, 02:20:59 PM »

I'm sure I've seen it somewhere else before.. German coachwork as well?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #10 on:** October 06, 2010, 03:12:48 PM »

No, the body was built outside Germany.

Allemano · « **Reply #11 on:** October 06, 2010, 03:15:16 PM »

made in Europe?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #12 on:** October 19, 2010, 02:37:26 AM »

Sorry for the delay, Allemano - yes it´s been built in Europe.

Allemano · « **Reply #13 on:** October 19, 2010, 04:59:49 AM »

In close proximity to Germany?

A wild guess - Serra body on a VW chassis?

Not Serra, but it´s got a VW chassis.

BE-NE-LUX?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #17 on:** October 19, 2010, 08:34:09 AM »

Not one of those...

pnegyesi · « **Reply #18 on:** October 19, 2010, 01:17:49 PM »

It has a certain Ghia-Aigle flair to it

grobmotorix · « **Reply #19 on:** October 24, 2010, 09:35:09 AM »

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

Allemano · « **Reply #20 on:** October 24, 2010, 09:41:05 AM »

bodied by Beutler?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #21 on:** October 24, 2010, 09:45:04 AM »

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.

Limo · « **Reply #22 on:** October 24, 2010, 11:38:00 AM »

Thorndahl?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #23 on:** October 24, 2010, 11:50:08 AM »

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:

Maybe Tüscher?
