When was this car built, what name was it given, who constructed it, and what powered it?

The car is Alfa Romeo-powered, but it is not particularly Italian.

And the point goes to mekubb!

Horst Kwech is an interesting man.  Born in Austria, he has dual USA and Australian citizenship, and considers himself to be an Australian.

Indications are that the puzzle car was constructed in America, but it retained the RHD of his native Australia.
