It looks easy because it is easy, so please name the make and model of this car for a point.

The base car is the Simca 1307 from 1975. Depending on the country of destination and/or assembly location it featured many other names as well such as:

Simca 1308: Bigger engine than the 1307.
Simca 1309: Bigger engine than the 1307 and 1308.

Chrysler Alpine: For the New Zealand, Ireland and U.K. markets (assembly took place in New Zealand and U.K.).
Dodge Alpine: For the Colombian market (assembly took place in Colombia).

Chrysler 150: For the Spanish market (assembly took place in Spain)

During its production span in 1980 the car got a facelift. The facelift versions were marketed as:
Talbot 1510
Talbot Alpine (for U.K. market)
Talbot 150
Talbot Solara (4-door saloon instead of hatchback version of this vehicle)

Well, it’s one of the cars you’ve listed, so now Locked to you to narrow it down to which one!

Since the car features pre-facelift headlights all the Talbot versions can be ruled out. Judging by the size of the logo on the front grille I would guess a Chrysler Alpine.

Dodge Alpine?
Yes, why did I have a feeling that would be your next choice  :)! Well done, its is the CKD-built Columbian Alpine, so another point to you.
