I'm thinking its probably based on a Miata, but I can't find anything.

The screen looks like it might be from one and some of the bodywork looks similar too, but this car is not Mazda-based.

From South Africa, Pierre Joubert's car, same producer of the Sunpacer.
"...based on the Sunpacer monocoque with Golf mechanicals. The pattern was partly designed by Pierre's boarding school buddy Theo Oosthuizen and built by Theo's son Freddy. It was moth balled under economic pressures with the rest of the Sunpacer tooling, but available for resuscitation"

Beaten to it - based on a Golf, so it WAS FWD. Designed together with Theo Oosthuizen and built by the latter's son Freddy.

(Ooops - I was typing at the same time as PJ was modifying)

That's about the long and the short of it, yes.
Very well done.
