Bonnet vent made me pursue early Celica but again front minor lights/bumpers are wrong. Don't think Scimitar GT either - bonnet looks too short and would be flatter wingline, and C-pillar more angular. Flimsy bumper so early 70s rather than later, looks a short Japanese-ish outline and possibly coupe or 2 door saloon, no obvious front quarterlight ... beyond that I'm stumped.
