Solved - NEH 4622: VW Beetle Eigenbau from Stuttgart

I really don't know much about this I'm afraid, apart from its base and where it is registered.
Give me those and you'll earn 1 point...

Not Adler-based.
It's an Eigenbau, not an official prototype.

Yes!  I was surprised no-one went for the obvious one.
Just the other question to answer now so I'll lock it for you until your next reply.

Looks like a home-built VW, so Germany is an obvious choice...... Is it ?

Not just the country of registration but the first 1/2/3 letters which as you know tell you where in Germany it was registered.

To clarify my reasoning in asking for the registration number, I didn't think this would be much of a puzzle if just asking for "VW Eigenbau" as the answer, since that is almost the default answer for any car that looks like this so shouldn't really earn the point.
I asked for the registration number just to force some searching to be done and to show that the solver has in fact found the car rather than just guessed the answer.
The registration number can't of course be seen in the puzzle picture so below is the picture on which it is visible; the puzzle is open again if anyone can find it!:

Finally found it.... I was looking at the wrong website and therefore I couldn't understand how to figure out the registration. Found the car on another known site, it is/was registered in Stuttgart. Pfff...

Your perseverance has paid off!  Well done.

Here's that picture still with the registration number showing:
