I reckon it's got something to do with the R429 plans to create a Hillman Avenger coupe.

I doubt it being Merc, possibly Taunus TC related but I'm leaning either to BL or Rootes - there's an echo of Roy Axe about it.

Only one question at a time allowed and you've managed to work 3 in there!
You'll have to choose which..

F1 fan said Merc - I'm going to hedge my bets both ways by asking if Roy Axe was involved with this design?  ;)

No.
It's from the same era though so possibly has input from the same designers, hence the similarity.
