Looks a bit like a ford capri/cortina dash, but the front indicators and headlights look a bit like an old ford Turus (german cortina), so I'd say it's an early Ford Turus coupe, that's been slightly modified.

Or

Do I need to think again?  ::)

I thought MKIII Taunus from the front, but then doors weren't right and they definitely didn't have a live axle.  :-/ :-/ :-/

You'd like 'Pimhole' round  here then, there are half a dozen old style yards round here. They just send you off in the right general direction to have a look.  :y :y
