I can't be sure. It looks kind of Gilbern-ish.

Oops! Well spotted! I saw the reflection and presumed it was a Variant.

It is a VW Type 4 variant, 411 or 412 both had horizontal rear lights as in the image. If remember correctly 411 had twin carbs, 412 was on Bosch fuel injection and the engine is almost identical to the Porshe 914/4.

And in case anyone was curious, the location is Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow - how unsurprising to see a Starbucks is now front and centre of that lovely building!
