It's got nothing to do with Marauder. It is based on a DKW...

Could this be the DK from Bohnstedt-Petersen ApS c. 1950?

Any Hong Kong connection (despite the steering wheel being on the wrong side!)

It is not by Gunnar Philipson and no Hong Kong connection. Let's stick to Europe :)

Was the body made (or at least designed) by an Austrian company ?

not a well-known coachbuilder (in other words, extremely obscure :))

I wouldn't consider Schreiner & Blaha as well known  ;D

So I guess this extremely obscure coachbuilder has never been mentioned in AutoPuzzles ?

I have no idea who built it, but it looks like the same car, and I know that my pictures came from Austria.

Is the car on the pictures a real car or just a model?
Does somebody have a better picture?

The pictures were part of a (costly) bundle of photographs on ebay many years back. I think many of them came from legal car documents.
