I don't know this car, but I was wondering: is it Dutch?

Somehow the guy and the houses look very Dutch... But still I have no idea what it could be (I only know in which province the car was registered).

Is it the 1954/55 prototype, called Shelter? The Shelter was built in Terborg  by a Mr. van der Groot in two prototype versions and 4 of those that were supposed to be built in bigger numbers.

We had that one before, (http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=8159.0), this one is not a Shelter and not by Mr Van der Groot.

And actually the Shelter was built by  A van der Goot, not Van der Groot  ;)

Internationale is my only shot yet. Is it home-made one off?

Home-made one off is correct.

'A very special vehicle. Mr Hoen with a car designed by himself . 
Powered by a 200cc Sachsengine, gears from a motor bicycle.
Top speed was 60 km\h. It took  two years of his spare time.'

Great! Never heard of this mister Hoen... What I'm surprised of is that this car still has got the old type of license plate (B-xxxxx, from the province Friesland). Since 1951 there was a new license plate system, and as far as I know the last provincial plates were used in early 1956 (e.g. there are some pictures of the very first Citroën DS19 in Holland with these plates).
