it looks very much like a MK4 jabro.   the mid engine version (as MK1 wich i
have an early one of sitting here, through MK3 were all front engine cars. )
alegedly was the lowest production figure car of the jabros.  did the car
start life as a jabro body on another chassis?  or is it a one off body
fabricated  with the jabro having a very close similarity?   dkw power?
cool!  another 2 stroke car.
now another question may be if it was based upon a MK4 jabro, where is it
today?  and what now powers it?  dkw, panhard, crosley, saab, triumph and
bmw motorcycle engines, and fiat were popular engines of the time.  but as
many can attest the cars saw difrent power plants/ gear boxes being swapped
from owner to owner as evryone had differing opinions as to what was the hot
set up  where and when.
possibly if it was based upon a MK4 jabro you might start polling jabro
owners as to who might be able to identify any remnats of the mounts for a
DKW drive line in any known existing cars?

chuck.
