That's it, yes, though I'm disappointed no-one guessed it was a Brazilian Puma!
This is from the second run and can be distinguished from the Brazilian cars by the rear three-quarter window.
Well done.

Built by Jack Wijker from Bebelegi, South Africa, since 2006

The steering wheel on the other side is also a bit of a give away

Indeed, but I chose this picture because I was fairly happy you couldn't actually see it!
Unfortunately flipping the picture to make it look LHD is not permissible on AP...

Here's a rear-view of a South African Puma; I don't if these were the usual rear-lights though..:

[Djetset]

The Brazilian Pumas had rectangular rear lights. These look like the tail lamps used on the Fiat 850 or Simca 1000.

[Carnut]

Yes, exactly.  The is the only rear view I have of a South African one though, so I don't know if the restorer has simply fitted these (Fiat 850 I think) lights or if they all had them..
