Could this be Beetle-based?

I've seen it before...
Wasn't it an official VW project for a 3rd World market?

You might well have seen this one before. It was built for a far away market, but it wasn't an official VW project. ("far away" from Wolfsburg, that is)

I don't think so. Locally built and probably locally distributed.

Here we go: it's the VW "Terra" from NZ. :)

Built only ~20 times in 1963

Yes, that's the one. The pictured car was imported to Germany recently and sadly converted to a dragstrip racer.

Another point for you.

I don't like these kind of conversions at all, but considering that it's possibly the only survivor makes it even worse...

Well, thanks a lot for your post. I have to admit that I trusted the well-known and usually trustworthy source that my puzzle car is a Terra. But doing a little bit of research led me to another name. Quite sure now this one isn't a Terra, I would like to open up this puzzle again. So could one of the admins please move this puzzle back to the pros?
