Interesting small saloon.
Name the make, model and year and who the designer was for a point.

I don't have the slightest idea, but out of curiousity: anything to do with Hindustan?

I had the same idea, so I'll go for Morris.

It really screams Hindustan/Morris, would be interesting if it would have no relation to both :D

Is this a Nuffield prototype for the Morris Minor 1000-based Riley One-Point-Five and Wolseley derivatives?
A car is for life, not just for Christmas.

It is a Morris Minor replacement proposal but not for Riley or Wolseley.
I need the year and the designer for the point.

The year is 1954. Was Gerald Palmer responsible for the design?
