It says Lancia Integrale at the bottom, is it that ?
That was my suggestion. A friend has one and has welded and rewelded it all over! Then the engine blew up!

The Renault 14 we had in the 1980s. That picture looks like the car when the scrap dealer collected it!

Yeah but the business model was “buy this amazing engine and we’ll throw in a body”

Sure looks like the detritus from any one of the Leyland cars I owned when younger. I'll guess.... Austin 1800 (Cardinal red) with a wooden dashboard

Strange isn't it, I had a Lancia Beta coupe in the 80's for a couple of years. Had a fair amount of trouble with it, the head gasket went, a wheel bearing failed, rear shocks failed, exhaust and other things, which I put right as I enjoyed messing around with cars, before it succumbed to rust. But I still look back fondly at having it, even though it only did 22mpg.
Whereas now, if even the slightest thing goes wrong I am mightily peeved.

I had an Inter, and theyre part galvanised so were acrually pretty good. The ones that rust have seen a ditch, followed by dodgy repairs.
I thought the pic looked more like a Land Rover Defender at its first MOT.

My guess Alfasud. When the Italian govt tried to address the unemployment in the south. They paid Alfa a fortune to build a factory down south, hence sud. They failed to recognise the influence of the Mafia. "Buy our steel or something unpleasant may happen". 
Back in the early 80s I had a Marina van as company transport, I went to collect it after a service at the local BL dealership. It wasn't ready so took a look around the showroom, all Metros, Allegras and Princesses, all brand new, all with drip trays underneath.

But Russian steel was made in huge quantaties. Have you studied the production figures Comrade?

Had a Fiat Mirafiori 131 Estate 16V Twincan it would run circles around the Fords & Vauxhall's in it's day, the bonnet lifted from the screen forward, but as you jacked the car up you could see the shut gap visibly close.
Took it for a test & he called me over, opened the bonnet, told me to put my feet either side of the front wheel with my knees against the wing. He then told me to look down, what am I looking for I asked? Do you see your boots was his reply, Yes says I, Well you bloody shouldn't be able to, do you really want me to test it? Drove it home, emptied it out, slung the bike in the back & drove it to the scrapyard.

Reckon it's either the Lister Stealth or the Chevrolet Spark
