Datsun 200/ 200SX?? My duckduckgo-ing is letting me down, cant find anything with rear light clusters like our whatsthisthen? not even on the datsun (510/2.55) . The Datsun 610 is marginally like it (aka Datsun Bluebird 610 Coupe, Datsun Bluebird-U, Datsun 160B, Datsun 180B, Datsun Bluebird GL, Datsun Bluebird SSS, Datsun Bluebird DX )

You need to rescue us.

You're both right Apparently it's registered as a 1976 Datsun Laurel 200L.

Laurel 1 - own work

Laurel 2 - own work

Datsun 200 diesel the highest mileage car I've ever dealt with.

I sold one to a taxi guy, years later I met him, he said it would be going to the scrap because although it still ran well it had got to the falling apart with rust stage, it had one million two hundred thousand miles on the clock and the engine had never been changed or overhauled, he changed the oil (Shell) every 6,000 miles and it just kept going.

Your Clues
1. Its from an upcoming auction catalogue.
2. It is not from something exotic or unusual no one will have heard of.
3. Not sure if the upholstery is original I would expect it is though.
(from the horses mouth of the model "register" it is described as having "interiors of sports seats shod in ‘designer check’ understated tartan"

Sometimes the Tartan was less understated and more in your face

So I wasn't far wrong, it's a snotty Italian tat VW Golf.

Not quite it definitely isn't a Golf but very warm Gibbo. I quite like them.

Dont think you should need anymore clues...
