Pretty vaguely. Maybe you remember what you have seen where. 50/60s quite possible as already mentioned above.

This was a little bit evasive regarding the question, whether it is German. Does your answer mean it is partly German or a German was involved in the design?

It also somehow looks very familiar to me. I am thinking about 2 seater convertibles like a Fiat Spider Duetto or an E-Type or even a Porsche 356 but the details do not fit.

In the 1950s  Porsche and VW commissioned two-seater roadsters & cabriolets bodied by various coachbuilders ( Beutler, Romitsch, Bauer, Reuter, Denzel, etc. and many more whose names I simply can't recall ) because neither had sufficient capacity to fill demand after the war,  Beutler, Romitsch, Bauer, Denzel, etc and many more whose names I simply can't recall.........could this be one of them ?

If you require commiting to something more specific, I think it's most likely an early 50's Porsche offering, based on the use of the commercially available Hella lights.

1950s DKW Monza Coupe?

Well done, Stu!

1957 (series 2) DKW Monza. Fibre glass body based on the DKW F93 (3=6 cyl.) They started to build them at Dannenhauer & Stauss (Dannenhauer was working for Porsches coachbuilder Reutter/Stuttgart in the 1930s/40s where they made pre-war, pre-series VW Beetles). This late DKW Monza (1957) was build at Massholder or Schenk for DKW dealer Wenk. DKW stopped delivery of chassis when they started their own "little Thunderbird" DKW 1000 SP Roadster/Coupe.

Dannenhauer & Stauss (the first series coachbilder) made the nice VW beetle based two seaters just like Beutler, Rometsch, Denzel before VW launched the Karmann Ghia and stopped delivering VW beetle chassis to them. History repeating with DKW.

Maybe 230 Monzas built and still 40-50 alive. Assume this is one of the most sought-after DKWs. Lovely little sports car.

Your turn!

 It's a Spyker plug-in EV. Horrible car, in fact all the cars they ever produced were awful, they ran a terribly mis-managed company, couldn't accomplish anything of value in Formula 1 either, couldn't do anything with SAAB...........it seems they have finally gone terminally banrupt last year and hopefully have seen the light and will try their hand in another industry.

If it's not a Spyker I will yet again have made a total ass of myself.

The DKW Monza is a much prettier car than the later Auto Union 1000SP. When I was at college in Switzerland in the 1960's, my flat mate had one of the 1000SP Coupés. We both kept our cars in Charlie Chaplin's spare garage space in Vevey. We had to pay him the rent personally in cash, on the 1st of every month. He was very insistent it had to be handed to him and not to anyone else in the household!

Tome for a bigger crop.  So far we know it's electric and not a Spyker

That's it, Andreas.  Sorry - I don't recall your posting one before.  Your turn.

No problem, not the first time that we have the same car and it obviously was still difficult enough!

Here is your next one: maker and model please (actually I have to admit am not 100% the model myself).
