P.S. My first attempt at posting a picture, so fingers crossed.

Nice find Owen, thanks for sharing!

Best detailed picture of the rear that I have seen so far. Good idea of how the roof structure was done including the snaps. The rear door seems to be set up as a table with the two legs folded.

As to the colour, I am not opening a can of worms, but.... from what I know: if regulations were followed, it should be painted in Dunkelgrau Nr. 46, today referred to as RAL 7021 Schwarzgrau.

As for the folding roof, it seems they used a standard type as used on other German designs. While the body isn't exactly the same as the other Einheits-PKW, it was clearly patterned on it to fit in their classification system.
