Is it French? (despite not looking it!).

You are correct faksta, it is the Tedham.
Can you tell me what it was based on?

That's right - VW based.
I know very little about this car except that it was built in Phoenix, Arizona in the 1970s.
It may have appeared in a film (or even have been built for that purpose)
The only other photo (poor quality) I have is from the rear. I have no idea what the car looks light from another perspective.

There's a touch of Citroen SM to the rear!
