I was thinking an Evante too, though there are some differences: https://www.flickr.com/photos/45676495@N05/47540179462/ Door line and headlights look really similar though.

Details suggest 1960s (door handles, S3 onwards wing indicators in first thumb which seems to also show the SE shield). Doesn't have bonnet bulge fitted to most S4s (depending which carburettors were fitted for different markets). Evantes had modern fixtures - big door handles, mirrors, big wheels, different wing indicators, headrests etc
