Gosh, you are right! I always thought he was Brazilian.  Thankfully my car knowledge is rather better than my music knowledge! ;D

I believe it is close to full-size, but not 100% dimensionally accurate.

It is called The Ant, built by Les Hayden. It is based on Nissan 1400 LDV mechanics on a newly designed chassis. The bodywork is made of fiberglass and resembles a scaled-down Land Rover Series 2.

Well done; a perfect answer.  This is indeed the scaled-down Land Rover replicar made in South Africa and based on the Nissan 1400 (old Datsun 1200/ Sunny). Another point to you.
