Is it BMW 328-powered?
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

I think it is very unlikely, but is this actually a Formula 3 500cc car?

Yes, the name of the driver who also was the designer of the car, and I need the name of the coachbuilder (a well known company).

I know now where the engine came from. It was not a Hansa.

Was it built between 1945 and 1950 ?
Yes
