The back end is far far too high

Too late now or I may have been tempted! Is it a Stimson Mini Bug? They always were high at the rear, and I thought that perhaps the intention was to mount the engine there, although as far as I can recall they were almost all front engined.

They are quite rare now, they did start making a few more about 10 years ago.

 

Stimson Mini Bug 1 (which that one appears to be)  only  approx 20 made, wieghed 450kg. described at the time as the ugliest car ever made.

The Mini Bug 2 was a slight redesign & approx 160 were made.
