No, this car was built in Germany, by a man who's somehow related to Ford (Clue No2

) using a VW as a donor. When I researched the car on-line to see what's available, it turned out that this ex-Ford guy went on to become someone who had a relation to another German car maker. In an interview, which is available on-line he mentions this very car as a catalyst which was so well received that it changed his career.
