I don't know a great deal about this car so can't confirm or deny any details; just what it is will earn 1 point:

At first sight, it seems based on Alfa Romeo GTV Coupé around 1995

So it would seem (and it earns you 1 point)..
Anything more you've been able to find out?

OK.  The car was for sale on ebay simply described as home-built and based on an Alfa; more than that I cannot add..

I see more Alfa 164 parts (bumpers, door handles, dashboard) than GTV parts.

Me too, but it's a bit short to be 164-based?
