One-off car?

Not sure how many were made; maybe only one!

Wild guess for fun: Italian styling over American Base?

I'm afraid I don't know the base; could be American but there's nothing Italian in it AFAIK.

I don't know for sure but it is possible.

Is it French?
Or perhaps you don't actually know the nationality? I'm getting that impression from your replies

I do know the nationality but it's not French.
It's all the mechanical bits and their sources I don't know much about!

I'm afraid you have it saved incorrectly then!
It's not a Shrike.

Here's another view:

Dettling Kit car ?!?
They named a kit car after a kit car show?

That's the one.
Isn't the Detling kit car show (note the spelling of Detling) in the UK?  These photos were of course taken at a US car show.
So it's nothing to do with that Detling, but I haven't been able to find very much out about this car at all, like what it's based on.
At the time I found it I was Googling for VW-based kit cars..
Apparently one or two others were made as well.
Nice-looking car!
