It appears to be a very nice Amante GT, a VW-based kit car: Link to "www.priceofhistoys.com"

According to the article, the original prototype was developed by Hebina Plastics as the Gazelle ( Link to "1.bp.blogspot.com" ) although I get the impression that Hebina never got it into series production. Most Amantes were built by Voegele Industries; the article says they sold about 150 units.

I'm impressed; it hardly looks like a kit car at all. Very sleek.

Not sure it is correct to call this [Typ 1], may well have used VW and Porsche (or Ford) engines but had a custom made chassis which could be either mid-engine or rear engine so wasn't a beetle with a bolt on body.
