    I think it's something weird and rear engined, possibly with a glass fiber body.

    Perhaps some kind of Gurgel (Brazilian)?

    Can't find a matching pic though

    The VX220 was the previous guess, totally unrelated

    It’s not rear engined, although it was apparently originally designed to be but ended up front engined

    It’s a European car. Designed by an Italian, Originally supposed to be a German car, but ended up being built by a company elsewhere in Europe

    No, not British.

    Can’t give nationality as it would be too obvious.

    From the photo I was thinking that it was a Talbot maybe, but after seeing the above, I have no ideas, the fuel cap is really killing me :confused: I'll try a Lancia?

    I'm really flumoxxed. I was thinking Fiat/Lancia but they have the fuel fillers on the right (usually). The "not British" is beating me also. The lights, boot angle, window scream MK1 Capri to me but they didn't have flush plastic bumpers. I'm going to go with an early Mitsubishi Mirage/Colt......

    Some Fiats from the 70s anyway had the petrol filler on the left.

    I don't think it's Italian though.

    Dead right.

    The Ibiza Bocanegra concept (black mouth in Spanish) concept from 2008 was a homage to the 1200 coupe.

    The 1200 body was initially designed for NSU and was to be rear engined. Seat put the engine in the front but kept the rear side vents.

    Funnily enough, NSU has been bought by VW and merged with Auto Union at that stage. VW would go on to buy SEAT from the Spanish government in 1986.
