From the camber of the rear wheels - VW powered ?
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

Vince Sandhurst's "Sandhurst Roadster"

Quote
The entire frame and body of the "Sandhurst Roadster" is wooden. Only the engine and chassis are metal.

Sandhurst, a carpenter and cabinet maker by trade, had an old VW Karmann Ghia he intended to restore conventionally. During the construction industry slowdown last spring, he had extra free time. That's when he decided to restore the car with wood instead of metal or fiberglass. The engine came from another Volkswagen and is mounted up front.
