You're on to something there!
Not the Mayflower though..
Will lock it for you for 48 hours to see if you can find any more out.

I'll take a stab at this being a special bodied Triumph Gloria.

Is it an early, more conservatively styled Standard Vanguard proposal?

No, we've already established it was a Triumph.

Just a wild guess here but was it a Sir John Black proposal/prototype for the Triumph 1800/Renown?

It is indeed a development of the 1800, which eventually resulted in the razor-edged Renown.
As to who designed it, I'm not sure but I'll look further into it to see if I can find that out.
So you're getting a point but I'll have a look into it first before I give you it and move it!

The magazine this one came out of seems to have gone into storage already so I'll have to dig into it at a later date!

In the meantime the point is yours and the puzzle is solved.

Good wild guess!
