HI there,
There is a german magazine about Old cars in General that shows an article over this Rom Berlin car. The story that goes with it unveil some details.....The Fletzenflieger is made with a chassis of another Berlin Rome car. Shocked Shocked It is written with the help of the PROTOTYPE museum who loand the car to get driven by the reporter.

All the remains of the Berlin Rome car found by GI's after the war and some very early engines ( like prototo"s from the pre war area) are sold with the remaining Berlin rome car to Mathé.. Shocked
The magazine is Oldtimer markt Februar 2010.
Some detailed picts are in it to from the Berlin Rome car, not the Fletzenflieger.

Best regards.

Yes, I have bought this very interesting magazine and it has indeed some nice pics and has a detailed story about the Berlin Rome racecars. But it's all in german:

I realize it's been a long time, but is there any update on this ? I was just reminded that I wrote an article for the 356 Registry about a visit I had w/ Otto in 1987;

https://www.porsche356registry.org/system/magazines/pdfs/000/000/173/original/295r.pdf?1396814917

page 16. sorry, no tech. details. I didn't have a good grip on who I was visiting. there was virtually nothing in print on his history at the time.
best
jerry
