All correct, it is the first AFM Intertyp from 1947. Just add the engine size by which it can be distinguished from the other AFM Intertyp and the point is yours. If you happen to know its nickname you might add that one just as well.

The car has been restored in Austria by Christian Nell (Kleinraming, 2014) and sold to Klaus Landerl.

One more point for a perfect answer. The puzzle picture shows Henri Roos at the wheel, 1950 in Bern.
