No points for make and model. However - which company was responsible for this car and what was it called?

Is that a Paykan?  Hillman-Hunter-based manufactured by Iran Khodro?

Sorry, no. That'd be too easy. This is a UK Hunter but with a difference.

No. Definitely built and sold in the UK.

Well spotted. They are not standard wheels and were fitted as part of a package to "improve" the model for increased sales. This is not a catalogued model.

Very well foiund. Offered in 1968 it had a mildly-tuned engine, different alloys and loads of fancy stripes.
