Bentleybob is right: it is from Hungary.  :-[

It is not by Zupka. As you seems to find coachbuilders in Denmark, Norway etc. easily, this one can't be a problem :)
Though this car is not featured online, but you can find the name of the company on some Hungarian websites.

The solution was visible tonight, but now it has been removed  8)

Here's a clue - many patents were filed by the leader of this coachbuilder
