Not really, no, other than that it dates from the late 1970's.
Just found it on one website with very scant info and couldn't find it anywhere else.
Will have a scout about and if I find anything I'll add it.

Might that not be the beetle itself?

WOW. Just registered here as I had been tracking down projects my father (Robert Trygve Knudsen) had been involved in through the 60's and seventies. This is indeed a ZEUS, built by my father himself, and one of a few different conversions from his workshop. His other cars were the 'Christy 1' - a 30's style convertable, and a beachbuggy kit...

Where did you find this image? I am trying to buy one of his surviving cars!

All the best

Nice to hear from you and to find out who built this car.
I'm afraid I can't remember where I found the image, nor have I been able to find it again.
I surf the whole Internet looking for images just like this to post as puzzles and as long as there's some info with the picture, like its name or who built it, then it makes a good one.

So I'm afraid I can't help you, but if you have any interesting photos of your father's car then please feel free to post them!

I have only two images, but don't remember, where I found this car.
