This is somewhat mysterious. The car was built on behalf of Alexander Orley. The German racing driver Rennfarer Adolf Brudes is said to have built the car in post-war Berlin in cooperation with Rometsch.

Yes, you are right and I will award you with the point. But do you know, why it's name is 'Todd Special'?
