Looks like an R.S.A. GM product of the 1960's.

Yes, I've checked a couple of books & it seems to be a south african Chevy (model unknown for now)
here's a pic of a 1969 Ranger wagon (very vauxhall like)

Indeed, at last - a clear picture of the long-elusive Ranger!
This is indeed the Ranger Coupe (I might be wring, but I think it was called the SS), and had the same 2,5 liter engine as fitted to the Chevs at the time.
The Ranger was indeed Vauxhall-based, and was sold parallel to the Opel-based cars called Chevs at the time. The Ranger had the distinction (and got its own "brand" because) of being the first ZA-built car that met local content regulations. One cannot see it from this pic, but the brand logo was a leaping gazelle (on the grille).

Valiant - I am beginning to think you're right; please see pic for that car, I will eat my words there.
