Everything in me is saying Volkswagen, but I have never seen anything like it.

it looks like a Wolfsburg badge on the hub caps, Peugeot grill, with a Beetle-esque bonnet rib, and Beetle lights. But the wheels look like Ford Prefect .........

Based on that, is it Eastern European/Russian in origin? (as in a copy of all of the above?)

It's not a Volkswagen or a Peugeot nor anything from Eastern Europe/Russia.

there are so many oddities to it.

There seems to be a high level brake light, 'modern' indicators and a GPS(?) aerial, yet it seems to have an old flat non bonded windscreen, external hinges and trafficators. Am guessing it is actually old, rather than a modern retro styled mini bus.

Then there looks to be something similar to a Karmann Ghia (Renault Dauphine) at its side, and a motor bike behind it - could it be a Steyr or a Puch or both? (lol) - else it could be on a restoration company's stand

So many styling cues to see aargh!

It is old and was produced in mainland Europe, that's not the rear of a VW or Renault you can see it's a car produced by the same company.

Not the one you can see in the edge of the picture Alan, though eventually a very similar car with a larger engine became the 1000.
