The box in the rear is perhaps the engine compartment? VW-based?

a Dutch VW-powered one off.
Is this name a known one?
Title: Re: Q490

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?
Title: Re: Q490

I can't find it mentioned there...

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

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...

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