The base yes, but not European-built.

That's it, yes.  European mechanical parts but it's a one-off body built in the US, not a Sylva or anything else!

Is it on a proprietary chassis or platform, or is it a purpose-built chassis?

Well it is a homebuilt based on a 1960 Volvo B18/B16 powertrain which is missing! Its unique feature is that it has a very attractive  all steel superleggera style body - small tubes covered by steel panels. Its builder seems to be unknown, but it is for sale with the powertrain of your choice for a mere 10000 dollars.
