Looks like an NSU 1000 of the late 60s. I thought the Prinz was a good little car.

A regular NSU 1000 would be a bit too easy, even for a rookie puzzle. Locked for you to find out what is different.

No, technically it should be like a common NSU 1000.

Some were made under licence in Sarajevo, Cairo and Argentina but none, I think, with the distinctive oval headlights. Jacques Tati had a 1000 in the film Trafic but this isn't it and he isn't the driver in the photograph.

Nothing to do with Jacques Tati, but follow your first thought. It is a NSU built outside Germany.
Locked for you.

I've found a picture of an NSU 1000 "registered in Beograd" with the oval headlights, so I guess the answer is Sarajevo.
