Base car (easy), who built it, what was it called and where was it built?

With RHD I'm going to guess it was made in Australia at VW's plant in Clayton, Victoria.  They had a buggy of their own design called the Country Buggy.  The hardtop was sold by Annand & Thompson and only two were made, from what I see.  The Country Buggy was a slow seller and only made for 1968.  This one is somewhat like the hardtop.  I'm probably way off?

You're close with the country, but this isn't an official VW project. A little more than two were made as far as I can tell, too

Thank you! You should correct the headline: it is Cambridge.
