The name SVJ is short for Steen Volmer Jensen, a Danish engineer (thank you Google and Hondast )
the base is a NSU RO80 .
but the point is for Hondast  ;)

Well done hondast, this is indeed the SVJ 1000GT. Built by Steen Volmer Jensen on an Auto-Union 1000 chassis with a RO80 engine between 1964-67. It now resides in the Ole Sommer museum.
