Welcome to AutoPuzzles karguy.
This particular car isn't a Manta Montage either, although it is related..

Possibly a UVA M6GTR, in which case it was produced from 1982 to 1985, and was originally intended to be VW Beetle-powered.

It wasn't built by him nor does it have a Honda NSX engine, but it was built in New Zealand!

He wasn't the builder and it's not Toyota MR2-based!

Yes, most were VW-based although understand they could also be based on some FWD Japanese car!
This particular car was built by Ian Byrd and Tim Monck-Mason I believe.
The Mararn was basically the same car as the Manta Montage but with the name changed for the cars made in New Zealand.
