Main question for the point is the builder of this car, but if you can add the car on which it is based, all well and good:

Not as far as I know.

Volkswagen Karmann Ghia modified to look like a Mercedes Benz 190 SL ?

I believe the base is a VW (probably Karmann-Ghia) but that idea was not what was behind it.

According to your first post I guess it's home-built and not made by a regular coachbuilder ?

I wouldn't really call it either of those, though the builders have built other cars too.

Done by a student of the Fachschule für Karosserie- und Fahrzeugbau Kaiserslautern. The car was probably based on a Volkswagen Typ 3.
