It's a special powered by a VW motor, but alleged to be based on a 1954 Porsche Speedster.

You've clearly found the car, although the details I have are slightly different.
It's a home-built called the 1954 Speedster but it's not based on a Porsche Speedster.
So what is it based on?

The only reference I can find for the car is not too clear, but I assume it's a 356 ?

1954 Porsche 356 (pre-A) by Reutter. I didn't look far enough the first time!

Indeed it is said to have been based on a Reutter-bodied Porsche 356..
