Very interesting indeed!

I can't see anything that indicates this car being based on any 308 parts.
But I do agree to the possibility of a pre-war 8C as a base:

+ The rear brake drums look like 8C (2300/2900?)
+ The bonnet fasteners are of the same type as used on e.g. 6C 1750 and 8C 2300
+The body pontoons probably cover a chassis that is wider than needed for a single seater (=> two-seater origin)

- The front axle/suspension is unknown to me. Definitely not 8C 2300. But this could of course have been taken from another vehicle type.

Apart from this I can find little else to go on. The body would obviously be home-made.

A guess from my side (or perhaps rather wishful thinking!) is that this would be one of the 8C 2300's that went missing after a short racing career in post-war Germany.
