I thought a Rookie would have guessed this one.
Apparently not therefore up to the Experts to solve it quickly

This is the Globe Battery "Maxima", an electric car from around 1980 based upon a 1978 Mercury Zephyr station wagon.

That's the car but the date you have provided is earlier by a few years than I have.
Locked for you to come up with the correct year (within a year either way)

This exact car was featured under the Maxima name on page 48 of World Cars 1981, published by Automobile Club of Italy/Herald Books in early 1981. I have the book in my hand. The car is certainly no later than a 1981.

Tonyola apologies, the car is from 1980.
I had originally taken it from a later edition of World Cars an not checked the earlier editions.
Anyway, a well earned point for you......

It is based on a Ford, but not a UK Ford.

Indeed it is.
It was based on a US model Ford Fairmont Station Wagon.
2nd point for today!
