LOCKED for you!

Well, you have definitly found the car.

But do you know the builder´s name?

[Paul Jaray]

Is the answer to be found online?

[grobmotorix]

I am not sure, to be honest.

I have scanned this photo with a letter of the builder, that he sent to a German car magazine many years ago.

I would not say you could not find it in the internet...

[Paul Jaray]

If there's a way to find out, I'll be glad to look for it, but if I just have to gess at a German name, you can unlock, since I do not have that magazine
Is this car featured online anywhere (with the answer, I mean)?

[grobmotorix]

I was not able to find it in the internet 

Open for all again.

Built by Fritz Peters from Ehrang near Trier.

[grobmotorix]

Indeed.

It is the SWF 58 (="Schrott Wird Flott") by Fritz Peters, 1958

[Wendax]

The puzzle car was built by Fritz Peters, but it is not the SWF 58. Peters just refers in his letter to the SWF 58 which was featured in hobby magazine before. You can find the SWF 58 here: https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2011-39/solved-wendax-050-swf-58-by-klaus-lohr/
