I think it is a Volvo 264

I'm still leaning towards a '72/'73 Volvo 144/164, mainly because I could not find a RHD 264 with the fuel cap and thinner bumpers shown in the original post. Volvo did seem to vary the position of the fuel filler and style of rear lights a lot between the variants of 140 and 240 series 2 door and 4 door over this period. UK models appeared to have extra fog or stop lamps next to the number plate. The big bumpers and even longer tail came a bit later. What do you reckon? Like @Tayne, I was reasonably sure it was a Volvo but confused by some of the details. Photos: 1 Cropped from original post. 2&3 A 1972 164 from Car & Classic. 4 A 1973 144 Grand Luxe from KGF.

Def a Volvo door handles match too.

Yes looking at the bumper more closely it does look like a 1 series and could be either if the two you posted.

I have just noticed next to the R12 that is next to the Elan is a Renault 15. It's the gift that keeps giving.
