Looks like a jazzed up Datsun Violet.

But, if you want a name I'd call it Brian.

Yup, reckon you're right. That's a Datsun/Nissan - they were big in SA back in the day.

They had some strange stuff out there. How about a nice Ford Sierra XR8....?

Get a whiff of Cortina MK3 but I might be way off.

because of where the front indicators are I think it is a Datsun Bluebird 180b. My Dad had one back in the day.

Me too, I thought the orange car having "Colt" on the wing badge & "GS" on the rear panel was a bit of a clue, myself...
