Are those Triumph hood (bonnet) latches?

I think it may be a Fairthorpe Zeta but I can't find a photo of one from this angle.

[@re]

They might be Triumph latches. I haven't been able to find out for sure. You should not get stuck on the latches, though, as they might have been installed afterwards and might not have been an option offered by the factory. But it is neither a Triumph nor Triumph-based, neither is it a Fairthorpe.

Wheels look like widened E93A Ford

[@re]

That might be because it is indeed Ford-based.

Cheetah?

Falcon??

Cheetah? No.

Falcon?? No.

Reliant Sabra?

[@re]

Not a Reliant. But your focus is on the right country.

[Ian Evans]

Some kind of an older Marcos?

[@re]

Not a Marcos.

[Otto Puzzell]

It looks a lot like an Ashley 1172 with the roof lopped off.

[Otto Puzzell]

It is!

Bingo! And it is located right here in my own sweet home country of Norway...

A point for the Guru.
