Sorry for the tiny photo, what car is this? This is the only image of this car, and I am trying to find the make/model so I can date a photograph on a website I frequent. It looks familiar...

The only clue is the photo is assumed to have been taken after 1973. This is because a MG in another photo of the series has been identified as a 1973.

I honestly thought it was a mk1 Saab 9000.

Right light but the colours are in the wrong order.

Ha! Love it... I was thinking polo or something Audi but I can't figure out what. Not a Quattro I think.

I've done my best CSI style image enhancing on the pic. Should make things much easier.

I thought definitely Renault, but Fuego at first. The 11 looks right to me though.

I was thinking maybe an AE86 but it's the indicators the wrong colour.

It would be handier to put up the complete uncropped image to get an idea of scale.
