Obviously a low production fibreglass car with the headlight held in by 4 self tapping screws. An early Donkervoort? 

Wilson

Fibreglass = yes, low production = relatively, at one time it was the 6th largest car maker of a big car nation (production amount/year). Donkervoort = NO!

Commutacar? Some built by Reliant under licence for the European market but the main production by Commuter Vehicles Inc. It was the highest production electric vehicle in the USA until the Tesla Model S. It had a choice of a 3.5, 5 or 6.5 (ludicrous mode) horse power motor.

I’m thinking earlier - the mid 70s version but it’s not possible to tell from the crop....

Wilson, not 100% but close enough!

This is a Sebring Vanguard "citycar" (made in Sebring/FL from 1974-1977) who later sold their company to Commuter Vehicles Inc.. They offered a VERY similar car with some improovements/changes (even with Air-Condition if I recall right) from 1979-1982.

In total more than 4400 had been built and that made it the most built street legal electric car in the world until Tesla Model S reached that production amount.

Your turn!

I was thinking Fiat 1100 c. 1962 with aftermarket wheels....

ie the Padmini

Vaguely warm but no Fiat linkage at all and a lot more recent.

I would consider some sort of ADO16 (propably MG 1100/1300 series I) but I miss the vertical body seam in the front fender.

No ADO16 a lot more recent than that - only recently gone out of production.

A variant of the Hindustan ambassador (ie related to Morris)?

Nigel, 

Correct. This was taken at The Samode Palace hotel, some 30 miles north of Jaipur Rajasthan http://www.samode.com . The palace, built for the brother of the Maharajah of Jaipur's brother is now an excellent hotel, where we stayed in March this year. It is still family owned and has the owners collection of cars, mostly old Chevrolets. This interloper was amongst them. They really are pretty awful cars. We had one for three weeks on a trip across Rajasthan in 2005. It has had little development in the 60 years since it was a Morris Oxford, other than to replace the feeble but sweet running BMC B series engine with an Isuzu cement mixer 1600 or 1800 cc diesel. The heavily spoked wheels are a bit "Fandango" . I think this is one of the late "Executive" Mk.6 models. They were made in Kolkata until 2014, when the whole plant was shut down and sold off. 

Your Turn
