Is it a proposed replacement for the Standard 8/10, which went on eventually to be the Triumph Herald?

It is an early car for the Imp project, yes, but I have a different name for it.
Locked for you to see if you can come up with the name I have.

No, this one isn't a Slug.
As it turns out it's yet another re-post, as its correct name is Apex, although the name I understood it went by at this stage was Hillman Sporting..

I think that's wrong though and Apex is correct so I'm merging these.  Sorry.
