VW-based Villa GT built for Adison Villa..
It was presented in 1981?

OK, I'll accept that.
I understood it was designed for Leon Lorena as he wanted a cheaper car to sell as a kit.
Although inspired by the Lorena GT the Villa wasn't actually based on it, and it became a marque in its own right, nothing, it seems, to do with Lorena.
It could be had with any of the air-cooled VW engines and was produced in the early 1980s.
