I know this isn't it but close I thought. Should we be looking at Lancia?
Lancia Beta Montecarlo
They both have four wheels and a bonnet scoop I suppose.Lancia Beta Montecarlo

The original website that featured the photo has, I think a clearer enlargement of the vehicle. Especially on the front end and maybe some of the lower detail. I hope the PH'er who originally enlarged the picture won't be offended with me posting it.
Another source for someone with time on their hands to go through it is here:

Although it's not as comprehensive as the site owners make out and frustratingly there are loads of pictures missing from some of the likely candidates.
The only thing I can add to the discussion is that it must be something out of the ordinary as the passer by has turned his head to look at it whereas if it was just a run of the mill, ho, hum, see them every day model he probably wouldn't.
The thing I'm having difficulty matching is the dome of the roof combined with the rounded top of the side glass and how far forward the 'A' pillar is. There aren't many cars around where a line extending from the bottom of the A pillar meets the front wheel arch.

There has been very little response from the members of Autopuzzles - they have been given the "blown-up" photo as well as the original to put the size in context. The only suggestion is that it is a coachbuilt one-off Panhard.
The Autopuzzles site crashed on Sunday, and the editors have been working on the backup files. I don't think we can expect any sort of answer from them for some time.
