It's so similar to the back end of a Triumph Dolomite / Toledo, it has to be Michelotti of some sort. But a Google image search doesn't help. The silver car looks Japanese, but a google of "Seventies Japanese saloon cars" helpfully includes an Opel Manta on the first page, so not entirely sure that's worth pursuing. Though it could be sixties of course.

Pretty sure it's a Datsun, I drove the pickup version which was a '520 Ute' in Australia in the early 80s.(the pickup I drove was from around 1969). Don't know what the equivalent car was called.
I've been a pickup lover ever since, windows down, elbow out, dusty country roads, wallowing slow speed powerslides, and country music blasting.

I was looking at the wheel trims, they looked like they had a stamped BMW propeller badge however they also look identical to the hub-caps on that Datsun 2300.

Scrap my early agreement about it being a BMW 2000, it's the Datsun.
