Not this photo, but the car has been featured in an automotive magazine when it was new.

The car was never raced. It had an Adler engine (995cc) It was on exibition at the "Internationale Automobilausstellung unter dem Funkturm" in Berlin with the FWB-Nachwuchs. It was built by Bernd Cappenberg. I think it was named Cappenberg-Versuchsbau. Body was made by Rometsch.
