In 1960, always for Heini Walter he built a DKW-Sauter race car

Heini Walter was very affected by this affair and decided to come back in 1956 with a new car : a Sauter-Porsche

Pretty slick looking car. Was this based on a 550 frame Gerard?

Great posts and thank you!

Hi everybody
Sorry for not having continued this topic yesterday as promised
Indeed I did some post on nthe 550 topic as I needed Andrew or Steve advice and I was not sure they have the time to read this one
Below what was posted onn the 550 topic

Steve H confirmed the following
Heini Walter Sauter Porsche was not built on a 550 chassis
Heini Walter Sauter Porsche engine was a Fuhrmann engine (90022) but a real new one and not a second hand one as I thought
This prouve what I suspected, that Kurt Sauter relations with the Porsche factory were very good unless he will never had a new Fuhrmann engine supplied

John (JG)posted yesterday on the 550 topic 3 very nice pics of a Sauter Porsche with the front face with retractable beams as Heini Walter car had on the 1956

After examination the JG pics lead me to list the following differences :
Heini Walter car is dark when the one on JG pics is clear
The pilot on JG pics is not Heini Walter
Heini Walter car had Porsche type wheels when JG car had VW type wheels
The above decided me to try to find more about Kurt Sauter
Herewith what I have found :

[Porschinelle]

Indeed Kurt Sauter has built 3 off Sauter Porsche
2 off with the retractable beams
one off for Heini Walter with the Fuhrmann engine
another one the clear car one JG pics with Porsche pushrods 1100 cc engine
here a pic of these 2 cars
Heini Walter car is the one on the trailer behind the VW : same color same wheels
The other one is the car on JG pics

The third Sauter Porsche is the ojne with the beams in the wings seen here racing in 1956




I have found that the 2 Sauter Porsche in addition to Heini Walter's one were sold to Werner Brandle from Basel and Peter Nebel but I don't know which is which

Now another mystery :
The red car seen in recent historical events is a fake or not ?
I have discovered that at the 2009 Goodwood festival of speed this car was presented alongside the VW Porsche Berlin-Rome-

Berlin race car
