Half of this puzzle should be easy.

What is the name of this car, and what car was it based upon?

The base car is in the same family as the Talbot 150.

Chrysler RSV? 

In Spain was very popular as Chrysler 150.

Not Talbot, not Chrysler, and not 150.  What other brand was in the family?

All the same basic car: Simca 1307/1308/1309, Chrysler Alpine, Chrysler 150, Talbot 1510 / Talbot Alpine / Talbot 150. 

Magazines I read around 1980, did indicate the RSV was based on a Simca 1308.
