Wide ties & tight slacks

I'm going to say it's an early S2, probably 1969, going on the windscreen rubber and low headlamp position.
The roof is painted black along with the headlamp and indicator recesses.
The engine cover is probably painted black to match.
The front wheel hub is sticking out so there's some wheel changes going on.
I'm guessing the picture was taken about 1975 going on the flares and tie.
This makes the car old enough to feel they can do stuff like change the front grill and the black paint.
Not quite sure where this is but maybe USA going on the plate on the front?
If USA and that is a Granada two cars back then they were made 1975 - 1982.
You would think of all the cars in that picture the Europa would be the one still around even if it is sitting in a field or the corner of a barn!
Anyway I really like period photos like this, I wish I had some of my car when it was young.

No, not our side of the pond.  None of the cars pictured were ever common over here.  It's somewhere in Europe.

Cool period photo. I wonder how much stress that whip antenna places on the GRP fixings.
