Its a Volkswagen made in South Africa designed by two Brits in the early 70's. I think the designers were Tim Fry and Reg Myatt both ex Rootes designers.Based on the Beetle and codenamed Project 1021.^ prototypes were made in SUV and pick up versions. But cancelled because they decided to go with the Golf in South Africa instead.

Really strange execution of a Beetle SUV.
