Nah i don't think it is you know.
Assuming the engine is on the management it came with, thats late early 90s onwards but it could also be on standalone. So it narrows it down a bit

Right, time for a clue?
Both the car (that your guessing to win for) and the engine (that you get rep for) are modern and mass market as in they sold in what would be considered big numbers and you will all of seen both on the roads and neither can be considered a classic (unless your mentally deranged)

The spaceframe and the engine aren't standard fitment. The bulkhead and master cylinder/res/servo are standard though. This is why you get actual rep for the engine.

Im leaning towards an MG or Talbot but with a different engine in it Again your wrong but very much liking your train of thought

Bravo Cully and Ruan!!!
Cully its your go to post a photo as I'll take that as a right answer and rep for being closeenough on the engine and Ruan you can have some rep for managing to even work out where I'd taken the photo.
Heres a couple more of her.

Talking of that, have you seen the new one due to be released in 2015?
Hate it when they ruin a classic by using it's name again, it should be a mericorsa.

I thought it was a Datsun 120y, but don't think it is tbh - at least from googling doesn't look like they did that style bumper.
Looks like it's a front hinged bonnet to me - which may narrow it down?
It's that indicator that's got me - curved around which is pretty distinctive but the flared arches which makes me think Ford...

No sure, but I'm looking for pictures of the same car to try and figure the lines...
It'd better not be a total mish mash of parts from every car conceivable....

Can you confirm the car was a production car & the parts visible in that photo aren't modified/aftermarket?
