Yes it reminds me of the Brasilian TC Karmann Ghia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_Karmann_Ghia#Karmann_Ghia_TC

If I remember correctly 1965 TC Studie formed the design basis for the Brasilian KG.

The rear section looks like it came off a Jensen. Where is it located?

As much as I understand the prototype was obviously a possible replacement for the Razor Edge Ghia but was canned, then VW do Brasil took the project redesigned shell to suite there tastes and voila.
