On the internet, the vehicle is called 'Huge Bug'. It is a 1959 VW Beetle that has been enlarged by approximately 40% using steel, aluminium and fibreglass. It is powered by a Dodge Ram 5.7-litre V8 engine.

Well found! I thought the view from that angle without anything on the photo to compare the size of the car with would make it harder to find out. Locked for you to name its builder.

There was plenty of time to search. The proportions of the windshield wipers were unusual.
Was Richard Tupper the builder?
