"The first one was called the "Miereneter" (Anteater) and had a DKW engine. The second one is as per this post stolen from somewhere else...
Vin Smith had a front engined, de-dion rear-axle single seater called the Alpha. Come the rear engined revolution, he moved the engine back as far as it could go, put the driver's seat and wheel in the former engine bay, draped his legs over the top tube of the VW based front suspension, and bingo: rear engined racer. It lasted one season, then he built a proper rear-engined from scratch. (It show's Vin's lateral thinking - his new car had a VW gearbox, but instead of swing axles, he sourced the box from a Tempo Wagen, which used VW engine and box to drive the front wheels - and got a proper IRS on the cheap, drive shafts and all."
