I would say it's a Japanese Coupe with a Camaro style front end.

I dunno.... the A pillars and where the roof line meets the top of the windscreen says 'kit' to me..... but looking closely has rain gutters over the doors which says 70's production car. The rear panel looks Mk1 escort but front wing doesn't. The door looks more HB or HC viva.

I was going to say Ford Falcon or Holden Monaro until Mk3 Cortina was mentioned.

If you look at the windscreen itself it has very little curve and no wrap around..... but look at the 'tina. Big wrap around the sides.

I was going to say Ford Falcon or Holden Monaro until Mk3 Cortina was mentioned. It looks too small and the wrong shape to be a Falcon or Monaro. It definitely looks production-car based, I'm guessing it's probably something Japanese or oddball American, with a fair bit of custom bodywork done to the front nose cone and bonnet. In short, I have no idea! I want to know now though. |

Is it a Hillman Avenger coupe with pumped rear guards, nosecone and ducktail spoiler?  |

No, the rear window isn't sharp enough on the Avenger.

How about a Mitsubishi/Dodge Colt coupe, circa 1974ish?  I don't want to call it too early, but I think this might be it! Edit: Nope, the windowline is all wrong, as there's no B pillar. I got a bit too excited there! The doors are very similar though. |

How about a Mazda RX-3? It's got a detachable nosecone and what look to be identical door mirrors.  |

I thought you were right on the money with the RX-3, Waveman. The thing that makes me doubt it is the lack of swage lines on the sides - the red one has a lower swage line, thn a really nice sharp line from the nose all the way over that rear quarter bulge. Could have been added during modding, 'course! The rear quarter bulge and glass looks right. The seam at the bottom of the A-pillar looks to be different though...  |

Back window shape is very wrong against the Mazda - but that doesn't say it hasn't been fiddled with.
Almost definitely not a kit.
It says "Capri" to me - if the perspective has been stretched/squashed.
What locality is the Number Plate?

RX3 is out, rear window is all wrong, and C pillar flashes are moulded into the cars on the coupe, so don't delete easily..

Well, A-pillar seams or not, I'm calling it an RX-3 until someone finds a better match!  |

doesn't look like a capri to me, its right hand drive and the wipers are set up for right hand drive too, something european or japanese probably, i'm doubting its a ford, vauxhall/opel though as I would expect to recognise it, looks like something from Oz to me.
