Judging by the Wipers it is a left hand drive car - so American?

Quite probably - spent 5 hours working outside yesterday and suffering from a chill at the moment.

Is it left hand drive?

European, Ford, not from UK.  Is it based on one of the Ford Köln produced cars - say the Taunus Coupé?

Yes!
I'll lock it for you for 24 hours to see if you can track it down.

The lock has expired so you can post anything you might have.
I'll still give D-type a point as he's got what the car is but if you can give me more I might you a point too!

Yes, that's the car, which is described as you say but I think it must be based on the Coupé version.
Your photo identifies the car as being Swedish-registered.
So it's a point each for this one.
