Mustang was my initial reaction on first glance, but the more I look, the less convinced I am.
The side glass appears to have a centre "post", too far forward for a Mustang or any coupe I can think of, which suggests a four door, unless it is some sort of optical illusion.
What look like the reflector and badge on the front wing aren't in the right positions for a Mustang either, locations look perhaps more like this in relation to the arch and beltline?
Struggling to find something that fits better overall though...

Yep, it was that indicator repeater on the front wing that made me think of a Maserati 350 GT. Must admit roofline seems a bit too long though. I think that the B post that you are looking at is an optical illusion and is infact a chrome spoke on the steering wheel.The side glass appears to have a centre "post", too far forward for a Mustang or any coupe I can think of, which suggests a four door, unless it is some sort of optical illusion.

Maserati in a quiet English village, unusual and exotic I know…

65/66 Mustangs have the V8 callout badge there. 67's have nothing at the front of the wing, 68's have a marker light but it is lower than the light coloured smudge in the photo.
My decrepit eyes interpret that as a flower on the bushes, not a light or a badge.....

That rear glass / roofline has me coming back to this, especially with the centre "post" idea discounted. Could the rear window be that shallow?
Potentially so many distinctive design features and all hidden by the hedge!
Equally unlikely to be in a small British town as the Maserati I would suspect...
