Probably from Poland

Not from Poland, because it's from Hungry!

Made by a coachbuilder ?

(I'm wondering why you thought a Fiat Barchetta modified by some obscure Hungarian company was Rookie material...)

By my usual standards, this one is not particularly obscure and is easy to find., as I've seen a few photos around of this car.  It is offered by a 'professional' company, although 'coachbuilder' is too grand a description for them I think!

Is it meant to be a replica of some classic car ?

Adam Stills / a+a custom cars

No, not the name I have.

[oko94]

Here's what I found in a forum :

"He is now based in Hungary and has just finished a 356 on a fiat barchetta and a 60's merc replica on an slk Adam stills is his name on facebook or a+a custom cars".

How many guys are modifying both an SLK and a Barchetta in Hungary right now ?

I keep on digging...

[Djetset]

I'll lock this puzzle for you now as it's the same guy, but this car comes under a different marque name (part of which you've already mentioned in your last answer!).

[oko94]

Attila Galambos & András Finta, AA Custom Cars from Vép

[Djetset]

Attila Galambos & András Finta, AA Custom Cars from Vép

Those are the characters involved, and enough to earn you the point I think, but the marque name for this car is also something else, beginning in three letters (as a big clue!).

SLK Classic

[Djetset]

SLK Classic

Hey, yes! Well done, another point to you Oko, with the full name of this Hungarian Fiat-based Porsche replica being the SLK Classics 356 Barchetta.

[oko94]

slkclassic is the name of their website (as well as the name of their modified SLK), but I reckon the company is actually A&A Custom Cars (see their Facebook or Youtube pages with the same name). Therefore I think the name should be A&A Custom Cars Barchetta 356.
