It's the Serra 1100/1300, a Spanish-built low volume series based on the Authi-assembled Austin and MG 1100/1300 I believe.

Sorry, meant to add that the grille is taken directly from the MG 1300, but the Authi Barcelona-built one, which is subtly different from the British Longbridge version!

You are correct in every department - but this car has a specific model name too. I'll hold the point for you for 48 hours

Ah, forgot to add the model name.  It was called the Serra Crazy.  Obvious really!
