No takers - time for a clue or two .....
It looks older than it really is and the make consists of three letters.

Is it the German marque, IFA? Based on their F9 sedan with the DKW 3-cylinder motor?

No it's not that. It's British.
I should have said move a notch up from 'J'

Lucky guess Oguerrerob, bad luck Wendax.
I don't really like solving puzzles this way but it was destined for obscurity otherwise.
The only info I have is shown below in a small advert for the car in the 1980s.
Any further details/photos are most welcome.
