a Dutch VW-powered one off.
Is this name a known one?

Yes, it's a Dutch one-off and VW-powered, and I do have a name for it...

Is the name that you have mentioned in a well known book source about Dutch cars?

the heavily pixelated pic gives hope that it's at least from the internet.

It is, or perhaps was, from the 'net...

I mean: is this name known in the automotive industry?

I've known a lot about this car for almost three years (since it appeared on Autopuzzles), but it's useless...

...That the picture was published in a magazine, on a page with a red background, along with a few others cars, all of them framed in circles. The solution can be read in the caption. Unfortunately the image I have is much too small to read anything.

You are right. Luckily the scan I have is big enough to read the caption...

{and no, it's not Tonnen}

That's good enough for the point, I think: it was indeed made by a Mr Van den Pol as a service car

This puzzle was over three years old. :o
Doesn't deserve jotage21 a little bonus point? ;)
