Quite rare to see them for sale in the UK - although they occasionally crop up at auction.

Several for sale in Europe but they command (what seems like to me) strong money

Always thought they were ugly ...

I've been waiting for Andy to give a nut-n-bolt description of it!

It is a 1958 Zarft, yes, that is the name of it. Bit of the Ghia take on a VW pan ish.

What beats me is the hard work people put into making these specials, but few have refinement of style.
