Ever see this Porsche?

I was just browsing a German newspaper article on a car show in a town I used to live in. Never saw this one before.

First time for me.
Probably some rare model built by a coachbuilder. (like Beutler or Glockler??)

Cool little car. Air-cooled flat-4? 4 spd? Disk brakes?

What are the specs?

Glöckler's cousin Walter created the small Porsche powered spyder in 1951 that later inspired the factory to produce the Porsche 550.

Mechanically a Porsche 356.

No DISC brakes. Porsche didn't have them then.
