Some sort of amphibious Mk1 Granada.  

Also known as the Herzog Conte Shwimmwagen.

What a fab thing for going your holidays in. 

Capable of driving through duckponds or across rivers whilst still retaining the ability to blend in discreetly with supermarket traffic.

'Capable of 100mph on land' apparently.

I’d love it to be something rare and exotic like an ISO Fidia

My first thought was an Iso Lele, with the half eyelid lamp cover but the bonnet opening is wrong.
It's an oddly proportioned thing, the lights are tiny and the door mirror is huge. Something says 70s Japanese to me, but I can't place it.

Funny enough my first thought was Colt Sapporo, but those giant door mirrors and slight bulge of the rear wing don’t really fit.

I prefer this being a mystery but the guy's eBay listing is here in case anyone fancies messaging him. He has some interesting cars 

shouldn't that SD1 be a MK2 on a W reg????

  I think @High Jettermay be onto something with his damaged SD1 with Federal lights theory.

The shape of the chrome trim on the windscreen is clearly SD1; it's identical to the one that's for sale. I'm with High Jetter on this one.

Where are the gingercators or their apertures?

And has anyone asked the seller?

Nah, the lights are different. 

It's what the lights may well look like with the front element smashed, and just parts of the reflector remaining, or something as simple as an aftermarket part.

Look at the shape of the wing at the front, the cutout matches perfectly.
