grob 2012_03_01 (02)

Who knows this car?

EDIT:

The newspaper clipping was from ca. 1990.

I found out the telephone number of the builder and just called him :)

The car still exists and is used mainly to be hired for weddings.

Some more details:

DKW chassis (which I doubt, to be honest...)

50HP Opel engine.

Thatīs all I can tell you now...

The builder is driving his own creation.

It is a german one-off from the early 1990 and I just want to see the builderīs name here...

Could this one-off have been built by Dierk Meyer?

From a German newspaper.

To make a solution possible:

In the photo this self-built vehicle had a RH license which stands for Roth near Nuremberg.
However the builder stems from the Bavarian Heideck area - if that might help - only I guess nobody could find it online...

It was printed in a newspaper - the builder was not tooo cooperative at the phone and told me there are no photos in the internet.

That was my aim - to find out a bit more about his "Eigenbau".

He seems to have been able to get a license plate and TÜV approval for it.

The vehicle certifiate tells that he is the manufacturer and there even is a model name for this car...

If it has a TUV, then it is possible.

Streich?

Not Streich.

The only photo I have shows it with a "red" (temporary) German license plate from the Roth region in Franconia:
