I apologise. No mention is available on search engine of the make of engine. Here is a rear view of the same car. Maybe there is a clue.

This is the correct answer. One point to you.

I can find no information about this car. The name makes it seem like an Italian motorbike! I do know that it was entered and sometimes raced by Harry Merkel. I managed to find a German language site about Merkel which added no information about this car in Formula Junior but it suggested that it was later fitted with an Opel Kadett engine and raced in F3. However this I'm sure was the Panther-Kadett.

An interesting car.

Without the Norisring-photo the solution may have taken far longer. Yes indeed, a very interesting car. With VW-beetle front axle, I think. Try to find out more about its engine
