No. Don't think it's related at all.

Could be.  It seems to have a grille in the rear lid, which might also be the engine cover!

That's a bit obtuse ! I reckon from that reply I can rule out Corvair power - But Porsche engines can be front or rear. Is if from Wolfsburg ?

I can't believe what I just typed - I meant is it a Porsche engine. Sackcloth and ashes ......

I've been trying to find a bit more out about this car but without much success.
The engine might, after all, be a rear-mounted VW...
It's even conceivable it might have a Porsche engine, as some other cars by the same maker did.

It's not from the USA.
Are you saying it's not from Europe or are you asking?

Is this a kit car, or a low-volume specialist manufacturer ?

Good question.
I think most were factory-built but they might also have been offered as kits; I'm not sure.
This one looks unique though; I can't find any others that look exactly the same.
