Is sleuthing going on in private, via PM, to preclude others from benefiting from what might otherwise be posted publicly?

No, I was just sending him a PM about my source which I didn't want to make public. The source wasn't absolutely clear about the M49 being the name of the puzzle car or a similar design by Baur. I pointed that out to grobmotorix. No other facts hidden from the public.

M49 I think is the general chassis name of the standard DKW Limousine.

It shares the same 900ccm two-stroke engine.

What I wanted to hear was the Farina connection.

A certain Mr. Roittner from Austria has raced it some time later.
I´d really like to know more about it...

Herbert Roittner at the 1957 Semperit-Rallye:

SACO · « **Reply #31 on:** July 20, 2020, 02:19:08 AM »

Not Porsche 356-based !

marmer · « **Reply #32 on:** July 20, 2020, 03:25:00 PM »

Is it at least German?

SACO · « **Reply #33 on:** July 21, 2020, 02:33:43 AM »

Yes German !

Is this something from the Meisterschule für Handwerker? (MHK). Maybe on Porsche chassis?

SACO · « **Reply #35 on:** July 23, 2020, 05:37:11 AM »

Not Meisterschule für Handwerker !

"Sportwagen Brand", 1954, based on a DKW F91...
Later Mr. Brand sold the car to Austria. To Herbert Roither in Salzburg. Roither raced the car and destroyed it in practice to the 1957 Gaisberg hill climb race

SACO · « **Reply #38 on:** July 27, 2020, 05:13:58 AM »

Yes ! Sportwagen by Hubert Brand , 1954, based on a DKW F91 !
Another point for fromwien !

Merged

So another puzzle piece (Brand) added to the history of this car.

Djetset · « **Reply #40 on:** July 27, 2020, 05:46:46 AM »

Now I am totally confused!

So, was this DKW bodied by Stab. Farina, Pininfarina, Baur or Brand, as the solution really isn’t clear?! Thanks.

grobmotorix · « **Reply #41 on:** July 27, 2020, 06:19:47 AM »

Brand/make: DKW 900ccm chassis

Design: Pininfarina

Bodywork: presumably Pininfarina, maybe Baur

Drivers: Roittner + Brand

Front view

Two more (brilliant) pictures of the Roittner-car (not, Roithner, as I wrote before) at the first "Semperit-Rallye" 1957.
