Looks like a 70’s Vauxall logo but not sure of the model or of that is even it. We have never seen one in the US.

Looks more Peugeot to me considering there is no flag and the head is facing the left not the right. I was thinking mid to late 60's but I have absolutely no idea and I'm a classic car guy but my focus is on American models.

Neither did I in 68 when I bought the Rivolta.

I had the choice of the Iso Grifo or the Iso Rivolta IR 300 and picked the Rivolta for the comfort.
