Cannot work out that engine - is it DKW?

There's the rub. I have had an internet check to find out more, but there's nothing out there. The builder was well-known at the time and is still involved in motor sport in his region.

The wheels look very like those used on Huffaker/BMC FJs - any chance?

need to try something new in the search engine. Is the year significant? Is it 1964?
