As already stated is powered by a Porsche 356 engine, glassfibre body on a Volkswagen chassis or a home made square tube frame depending on what source you use.

Yes, I believe it was there in 2010 (the year I missed!) and I think that last picture I posted was taken there.
I also meant to add that this car is popularly referred to as "The Pup" and is said to have been inspired by the Mercedes Silver Arrows racing cars.
