John (Joop) Tjaarda.  His cars, and design studies were named "Sterkenberg" after some family connection.  He may well have been influenced by Edmund Rumpler, as the two worked at Spjeker at one time.

LOCKED for you!

Sterkenburg is the name I was after.

Which model designation did this one have?

Three tries for you...

I know this 1931 publication, too.

One source I found claims to know the name or better designation of this design.

As you did not give me a name guess you still got three more tries.

I guess this design was a stepstone that also led to the Briggs car.

However, as mentioned before, my source called this sketch Sterkenburg XXX car (donīt count the Xīs...)
