Yes, the puzzle car was his last car. It had just been finished for the first training session in April 1954. On his way to the training Sieper had a fatal accident. The car was scrapped afterwards.

The reason, why I didn't think on August Sieper earlier, depends on my disinformation, written in an well-known book: "....during a test run on the highway near Chemnitz 1952, Sieper had a fatal accident and succumbed to severe burns a year later.... From 1953 onwards, Fritz Bagge drove the Sieper-car..."

Yes, I know that error, but Frieder Bach has written a very detailed book about race car drivers (and motorcycle drivers as well) from Chemnitz where I took my information from, including the pictures.
