It is based on an Auto Union 1000, but not a Sp and not rear-engined.

Locked for you to find the full name of its builder and of the car (at least what it was called quite recently).

The full name of the builder is Ernst Lüscher (Gontenschwil, Switzerland)
On the attached photo from 2023 I could read the designation, "Auto Union Spezial 1000"
