Seems to be rear-engined and has Rostyle wheels? VW Beetle basis?

It's VW-based, yes, but not Beetle.

Not a beetle, mid 70's I'll guess, not a transporter .......... 411?
But, I don't remember a 2 door.

Very, very close!
I'll lock it for you for 24 hours to see if you can dig it out.

I found it! It seems to be a home built 412 coupe. It seriously looks like they grafted an Opel Manta roof section onto it.

That's it!  Well done.
Yes, sure looks like a Manta roof..
There were 2-door 412s - the station wagon and I think a 2-door version of the car as well.
