To carry on the process of elimination: is it East German?

I just have to ask:  "Is it a Wartburg prototype that DID NOT become the NSU Ro80?   ;)
Don't bother replying as I'm not serious.

Kunststoffversuchswagen DDR
Glass-fibre reinforced plastic body made by Hans Wax on Wartburg 353 chassis, six-cylinder two-stroke engine by Müller-Andernach, built in 1968.
The engine was changed later on to a normal Wartburg engine. The car was scrapped around 1989/1990.

Yes.
Biography of Hans Wax is quite interisting. Tried to find out for years who he was regarding the Wax Alfa Romeo we had here long before.
https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2012-41/solved-allemano's-8470-732-1961-62-wax-alfa-romeo/msg188081/#msg188081
Reading about his life I'm not surprised anymore that his story was deleted from (West-German) history..


Another point for Wendax, the Eddy Merckx of Autopuzzles..

Thank you. I've had the pictures for about two years in my Unknown folder. When I saw your puzzle I thought it would be the right time to renew the search and I found a enlightening blog entry.

Thanks for posting the not cropped pictures. Found it by chance while searching for more info of Hans Wax and finally after five years it popped up.
