Not narrowed enough.... not from Europe!
Keep going, I'll give you a clue after you've figured out the general area this hails from!

Not South Africa, but somewhere in Africa yes!

okay here's a clue - The car shares it's motive power, and part of it's name, with one of your recent puzzles. Factor in your first guess as a guide, and it should narrow it down slightly!

Fortunately I didn't see any post from Allemano as I was offline at the time.

Anyway, after a search is the car a Zephyr Lotus 2550cc driven by A. du Bernard at Bulawayo?
