Cool car, you wouldn't happen to know where the picture was taken do you? Looks like it's in Norway somewhere.

Interestingly although it was a Ford Germany design the SA version used the Ford UK 3 litre V6.

And the building is a power station (hydroelectric) I'd say, in an architectural style that was very popular in Norway some decades ago.

To quote Wiki:

"Unusually for a German-designed Ford at the time, the 20M was produced in right hand drive in South Africa , where it was available with a 3.0 litre Essex engine. [4]"
