You can clearly see that this engine sits above the transaxle and I think it looks like the drivetrain is incorporated into the oil pan. Still there are not many cars I know of that has a longitudinal engine, and munted dorectly over the tranny. Most FWD cars (like my Audi) that are longitudinal oriented (like my Audi) has the tranny behind the engine, this one is clearly not one of them. Henrik, the folder says "Mantorp 99", have you seen this car earlier?
