It is a German one-off. I only know which engine was used at the time the photo was taken. That was not a BMW / Dixi one. The wheelbase looks too big for a Dixi to me.

Looks like a DKW radiator shell.
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

Well, that's because this is a very hard puzzle. I don't think you will find anything on the internet about it.

Good guess, but I don't know of any Ostwald connection.

If it's really old, then I probably have it - I have both Oldtimer Markt and Motor Klassik from the mid-1980s :) But I assume this was published in the 1990s

It must be from the 1990s or early 2000s.
