That drawing comes from Wham comic book. This weekly contained Michel Vaillant as well.

I posted some pics on Kauhsen & Merzario (merged) thread, in post #67 and #88. I paste and copy here what I wrote there. Click on thumbmails to see large photos.

Kauhsen WK 1: early tests made by Gianfranco Brancatelli. I don't know where and when these photos were taken; it should be late October or early November and they could be taken at Lommeln (Belgium), Luxembourg or Nivelles (from Autosprint 45/1978, page 37 - Autosprint 46/1978, page 16)
Kauhsen WKRT (WK 1). Le Castellet (3263 m), December 5th and 6th: test made by Patrick Neve, that replaced Brancatelli because of sponsor reason. Neve's best time was 1'11"3; the quickest driver was Laffite (Ligier JS11 Ford) 1'06"8 (from Autosprint 50/1978, page 39 - Autosprint 51-52/1978, page 16)
Kauhsen WK 1

(Left: from Autosprint 5/1979, page 33 - Right: from Autosprint 6/1979, page 44)
Brancatelli was back again on Kauhsen for some tests at Paul Ricard.

Ciao,
Guido

That car looks a real handful! Short wheelbase, odd aerodynamics, huge body roll, feet ahead of the front wheels - Patrick Neve was a better driver than many people think, but he must have been either brave or desperate to contemplate driving that thing.

However, as gdecarli says in his post, the car was less than five seconds off the pace of the Ligier that dominated the first couple of races in '79. It can't have been that bad!

Hi, uwe

I don´t know who ,but I think it maybe from mr. Milan Vasko from Czech Rep.
My friend sent me it.

I have about 200 blueprints about formula 1. Some of that I can change for photos..etc
I prefer worse cars between 1986-1991 mainly,but also some unsuccessful cars from 1976 to 1985.
