I would concur with that – definitely an Ascona (Opel equivalent of the Mk1 Vauxhall Cavalier, but with a different front end), not that it will help much, they were sold all over western Europe. Not sure why it would limit the pic to France or Romania if it had been a Renault 12 though; they were sold all over Western Europe too 😉

Defo an Opel – Ascona “B” body. Produced 1975-81.

Car’s a Renault 12, if that’s any help. So France or Romania are likely locations.

Not a Renault 12 I think (having driven them to a great extent much to my annoyance). Opel Ascona or the like I would say?

Nice comparison pics but the doors are different? Agree it may be from WW1 though

Does the “graffiti” have any relevance or just done by a local Peanuts fan ? Looks like an SN and a couple of references to Snoopy 2?

Checking with photoshop looks like a D and a C inside the circle?

Looks French to me. Can the language of the signs be read? There’s a round one which could be Defense de Fumeur
