Another Linea Tesa design? I want to know the mechanical basis of this car, who built it, where and when.
Experts?
proto Ro80 by Klaus Luthe?
No, far from that
USSR?
Not quite

In some ways, it reminds me of an 1962 Opel Kadett ...

I agree, I think the inspiration for the styling is 1960s Opel... However there are no Opel parts used in this car
Wartburg?
No Wartburg bits here
Right, time to move up I think
Trabant based?
It's not, no
Polish?
Partly!
Based on a Syrena?
Not based on a Polish car
Based on a French car ?
No
Based on a Czech car?
Yes!
Skoda-based?
Is this part of the Skoda S720 development program? Mostly it is mentioned that Skoda wanted to cooperate with Wartburg, but maybe there was also an attempt to cooperate with Polski-Fiat
It is Skoda-based, but it's not an official project from any manufacturer.
A one-off ?
yes
was it a movie car?
no
Built for a special purpose - i.e., a purpose that could not be fulfilled by an 'ordinary' automobile?
No, it's an ordinary passenger car
Built by a Polish guy?
Yes!
Built by Antonin Weiner?
Not him
To the Black Hole with this one..
It looks like a close relative of this car, one of a series of Zaporozhets-powered cars built by a guy names "Stig". No, not that Stig. This Stig runs a blog, where he say's that's not his real name. I'm not sure what to think of people who post online using pseudonyms, but it is what it is.
Perhaps this will guide this someone to the answer.

I don't think so. Barrett said it's Skoda based, so it's most likely not a Zaporozhets underneath.
With Barrett going AWOL, I figured maybe we could strike his comments from the record. :D
Or, perhaps he, and/or I, found wrong info. :o
Stig's cars are pretty cool, in a way. One almost looks like an origami SAAB 900

He's the same guy who built this one:

Yep - that's him.
No connection to Stig or his cars, this was Skoda-based and built in Poland. the information about this car is available online but I don't know how I can find it again because I lost my bookmarks.
His first name is incredibly common, his Surname is similar (but not identical) to an Austrian motoring magazine editor..!
Another view:
Based on an 1000 MB?
I believe that it is based on a front engined car, most probably a 440/Felicia or perhaps a 1200
I think the best way to find the name is to guess on my last clue!
First name Vaclav?
No, it's the Polish version of one of the most common names in any language
Jan Buchtow?
Not Jan, the other one!
Buchtow is very close. Fewer letters though.
Piotr Bucht?
Not Peter or John....
Surname is Bucxx
Andrzej Bucki?
A more common name! Half the Polish guys I know are called this
Not Bucki, but it does end in a vowel
Jerzy Bucko?
Pawel Bucko?

Pawel Bucko?
Pawel BucXX !
My first clue about the name should point you in the right direction
Pawel Bucta?
Pawel Bucka?
Quote from: Wendax on August 24, 2014, 12:08:29 PM
Pawel Bucta?
Bingo!
A re-bodied Skoda built by Pawel Bucta. I seem to remember the bodywork was made from some recycled material like reinforced cardboard but I can't be sure. I will try and find the original source for this.
Two points for Wendax
Thank you, sir. :)
