Year, make and model name for a point please.

[Djetset]

I can't believe that none of the Rookies were tempted to have a go at this one.  If the Experts don't get this in minutes, I'll call another Governmental General Election for the UK!

Could it be a Volvo Amazon estate?

[Djetset]

No it couldn't!

Makes more sense as a Fiat 1100 Familiale to me then ?

[Djetset]

No, none of the above.

British?

[Djetset]

No.

German?

[Djetset]

No.  This one is clearly more difficult than I first thought, but you'll kick yourself when you see the answer!

[guido66]

Japan?

[Djetset]

Now we're getting somewhere; yes!

Exactly.  Well done Metalshapes.  I thought it could not be too difficult.

Here's a photo of the front of it.

Pretty.
I mean the car.

I like the fact that cars even back then do look-a-like just like they do now.
I'll take a number of cars to make my point. The VW 1500 "Type 3", Ford Taunus, Austin A40, Peugeot 404, the Fiat 1100 and many others do all have features like the front in 3 parts (2 "bumps" for the headlights and one for the bonnet).
