Not Sima-Violet.

The extent of the Renault connection is that this car was a blatant imitation of a particular Renault model.

It is a replica, yes. Based on what? By whom?

Well done!

Said to have been built on a Skoda chassis, yet I have no idea which. Perhaps someone here can deduce more:

It seems to be build in Jicin (and not in Prague) by Petr Volf in 2002.
It is now in a car museum in Miami which wants to sell it for $ 69,995
