Space Dragon, based on a shortened 1970 VW Beetle chassis is correct, so a point for you!

I'm not 100% positive, but I strongly suspect it was built in the UK since it's RHD and was found/purchased in the UK. One source labels its country of origin as "USA" and says it's "rumored" to have been built for a James Bond film, but I've found no evidence to support either of those claims.
