Headlights look like early mini /moke. Taillight holes look like EJ Holden. Might be someones homebuilt special

That is certainly unique. I think that someone has Moked a Country Buggy. It would be a good project for someone. When finished it would be a very
unusual car. I don't find it to be offensive and I'd like to see it when it's restored.

I'm enjoying the comments from the experts.
It's not a country buggy, certainly not a thing.
It's home made, looks like it's very well made. Just a pity someone is going to grab it thinking it's a "RARE" VW, when it nothing but a
contraption.
Well my friends are gone & my hair is grey, I ache in the places where I used to play.

The second gauge is a fuel/temp/amp meter from a CA Bedford, drove one for years.
You'll find the tail lights woulds have been TK Bedford. Same shape as the EJ but different bolt on pattern.

the front looks like a moke...
so someone who liked the look of the Moke
also liked Volkswagens and made this "thing"
It would be interesting to know what year it was actually made...
There were No Country buggies or Mokes in 1955
maybe it was made in the late 60s..
those Lucas gauges were in Morris Minors, Morris Majors, Austin Lancers etc... they were used in Many UK based cars with Lucas equiptment..
interesting about the Bedford tail lamps...
I always thought they were from the EJ Holdens...

Could be spook but I'm sure its the smiths pack which was fitted to early oval beetles.
don't think its Lucus 68Autobug, but I could be wrong.
