Know what it is?

Nope. But I like it! Must be room for a ridiculously large engine in the front... is there?

[Otto Puzzell]

Large, but not outrageously so.

Here's the same car from a different angle. It looks like he made it to the church on time. No shotgun wedding here...

Where's the car?

Ah. There it is.

[Otto Puzzell]

The configuration of the rear bumperettes deviates from their intended location, as indicated in catalog pics of this car.

Hi, that is the Banjo GT from 1970

here's another one, someone just sent me a link to a forum where this is being discussed, but he assumes my knowledge is greater than it is, and I have no ideas at all! Spotted in Germany, looks to be GRP, but no idea if it's homebuilt or a productionised kit.... any guesses people?

I have one of these cars. The gentleman that designed and built this car was Bill Phillips from Canton, Ohio USA.  The car you are showing has my name written on the rear spoiler. I am curious as to how someone in Germany obtained one of these cars. I know of only 3 of these finished cars.

This one?

BTW, welcome to Autopuzzles!
I was looking at the pics I have of this car few days ago (there is a quiz in the rookie section that looks quite similar) and I found some shots of the roadster version. Do you have better views of that version? I have just a scan from a brochure and tiny pics 
You have a wonderful car indeed.

[Frankie De]

The car in the rookie section is not the same car but similar.

That is most probably the same German Banjo GT as this one: https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2010-38/puzzle-802-solved!-banjo-gt/msg113378/#msg113378
