I don't know the original application but it looks more to likely have been a boot latch than a bonnet catch

I'd love to give my imaginary friend a great big hug,

Hi Alex.
They are different, but I have the latches I removed my car - you can have them if they are any use to you.

I am still trying to remember on which car I have seen that exact type, it has similarities with some of the Honda/Rover boot latches.

The rubbery plastic cover made me think Ford
Try Ford Escort not sure what mark, the rear hatch latches on Escorts didn't change much over the years.
An ebay search on escort boot latch should turn up some pictures.

Thanks for the suggestions so far, it looks very close to a mk2 escort but they have an additional triangle at the top of it:

Looking at mine it doesn't look as though it has been modified so the hunt is still on.

Thanks for the offer mate, if I can't track this one down I'll take you up on the offer, I'd prefer not to have to modify the
bodywork further unless I have to.
