This car isn't easy to relate to one specific car only, but it's based upon one mass production car which wasn't mentioned before.  ;)

The hubcaps look like BMW items, so BMW?

A "Frankenstein" made with other cars' parts?

So to say, but with a certain purpose...

I guess our Prof's will solve this within a few minutes..

To be fair, the same applies to British club racing specials, US hot rods and custom cars, Brazilian one-offs, East European home-builts, Italian carrozeria, etc

I'm not complaining! It was a good legitimate puzzle!  Just one of those impossible ones...

I don't mind the impossible ones.  It's the "Dammit! I should have recognised/remembered that" ones that hurt.  Not that there are many in my case.

This Puzzle might be easy for a handful of Puzzlers, but difficult for others! The reason will become more apparent once it has been solved.

So, to gain a point, what was this car called (full name required please).

Perhaps an Anadol SL?

I'm afraid that it's not that Turkish delight!

A Fiat 132 with the front end of a VW Passat and not fitting headlights? :)

I am sure I have seen this car before. I just can't remember where.

Khodro Paykan?  A blend of Fiat 132A, VW Passat front end and Mercedes rear lights and some other parts called the Amalfi CS 1800. During the fun search for this vehicle I also encountered a previous entry on Autopuzzles for this car "Allemano's No 601".

You're on the rights lines, but there's more to it than that...

Yes, this is the 'so called' Amalfi CS. Can you add any more details please to gain the point. Now Locked to you.

Full name: Atlantis Amalfi CS 1800

Year: 1975

Used vehicles to create this odd blend: Fiat 132 for the main structure, VW Passat for the front end, BMW 02 some parts, BMW 5-series parts and  Mercedes W114/W115 series taillights.

This blended car was created by the German television production company for the television series PS (which means Horse Power). Apparently to avoid claims from car manufacturers this blend of parts from several manufacturers was used and the imaginary car maker Atlantis was made up.
