That had me confused for a while, and I had to resort to my A-Z British cars 1945/75.

1961 Heron Europa. Very pretty.

It had me stumped but you're right nicanary it is!

Not the usual one though, featured here:

http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=28079.msg326014#msg326014

This is in fact the first prototype car, not one of the 12 production cars, and it has recently been restored.
Looks better than the production ones to my mind!

I thought for a long time that it was an Evante converted to fastback, but the doors were the wrong shape. This model was the origin of the later Diva GT.
