I don't know a great deal about this, but what is it described as and where was it built, for 1 point?:

I have it as a VW based Porsche copy by the Reimann Bros of Dresden.

Coachbuild.com (under Private projects) seem to have it as another one, if it has the TV61-24 no. plate.

That's the one, yes.
Locked for you to answer the remaining part of the question for your point.

It was built for the Reimann bros. by Arno and Helfried Lindner near Dresden on a stretched Porsche 356 floorpan, and therefore known as a Lindner-Porsche.

I have different information, not from the Coachbuild site!
It wasn't connected to the Lindner-Porsches and was nothing to do with the Reimann brothers...

I admit it does look different to the Lindner, so after much searching  I can suggest that it is a one off Porsche copy, based on a VW, and built in Wurzen, Saxony for a Zwickau based VW dealer.

That's it, yes!
The wheelarches are the biggest difference..
Well done.

Well, this may be nitpicking, but I connect the "VW-Porsche" with an entirely different car, the 914. How about Eigenbau Porsche on VW chassis? The absence of the hyphen makes it better searchable anyway.  ;)

OK, good idea.
I did wonder how to phrase it as clearly it's not a VW-Porsche 914 (!) but opted to use what it was captioned as where I found it..
I'll change it though to make it easier to search for.
