For 1 point, tell me what this car is and its base?
I have a strong feeling that this car has appeared here before, but I can find it absolutely nowhere...

It did appear here before. Then, its petulant poster took his ball and went home.

Thanks Otto!  That would explain why I can't find it! 

Here's another chance to get it then..

That's about all I know as well; haven't been able to find out who did it but if anyone else know would be pleased to hear!

Here are a couple more pictures:

This wasnt very fair.  I knew this was 914 based but it never officially had a name.  I thought you wanted a name.

I was careful not to ask for a name as I didn't know it.
I just wanted to know what it was, i.e. a modded VW-Porsche.

Yes, it was the same car posted by whcgt, which he withdrew before it was solved.
