This car has come up for sale on a Polish website, with a small problem; no-one knows what it is, not even the seller. It has NO identifying tags or numbers on it, it last drove in the 1980s, and was stripped by an enthusiastic owner who since lost all of the parts.

What they CAN say is that it's an aluminium bodyshell and there's a 1950's Ford badge knocking around (although this may be a red herring).

More photos are on the Polish for sale site here: http://moto.allegro.pl/kabriolet-i2580136557.html

So, does anyone have any idea what this curious beast could be?

I`d guess a kit based on an early beetle.
going by the wheels,hubs,dials,steering wheel and head lamp bowls.

That's an interesting idea. There's a Polish car called a Syrena (made by FSM/FSO) which used the same wheels as the Beetle, but none of the other parts look the same so a Beetle base would make sense.
