Not built in Europe, but there is some European content.

It is not VW powered, so not a Zink. I do not know the exact number of cylinders, but it would be either 4 or 6. Looking at the photo, I'd say most probably 4.

In my search I came across a few pics with the same sort of background / setting, and finally there it was : Denmacher-Porsche II driven by John Dennis.
