OK, so it's a Jeep.  Who can tell me what's special about it for 1 point?

No.
I should have said it's generically a Jeep, not actually a Jeep as such..

Yeah, the rims DO look funny.  They're 4-bolt wheels.

Is this a WWII Jeep replica body on a different chassis?

I think I'd call it a copy rather than a replica.
But it's nothing to do with a Jeep itself apart from its appearance!

No.  Jeeps were not particularly big and whilst I don't know the exact size of this vehicle it's not a scale replica or anything like that but a full-size vehicle.

Yes, it's the rear-engined VW-powered Veep (also, I believe, known as the Scamp).
1 point to you.
