What about this now? British-registrated; do any of you know more about it? Is it home-made, or a conversion available at a car dealer?
It looks the back comes from a VW Type 3.
Renault AFKD (produced 1936-39), probably requisitioned by the Germans. If anyone manages to read more than I can of the inscription, thanks. The use of this lorry remains mysterious. Its previous owner’s name can still be guessed under the paint…

I reckon it’s “home made” Froggy, never seen one before and I’m a “retired” VW mechanic… 
Nicely done though, doesn’t look like it’s been converted in some dodgy (Fergie’s…) shed…

Can’t make out the letters on the panels, but the reg. does look a bit like the ones that were used in Holland…? I might be wrong though…as usual…
