It's a Standard Ensign prototype made in India in 1984.
I believe it was based on the Chrysler/Talbot Horizon.

Yes, that's the one; a revival of the Standard Ensign name in a one-off prototype created by the Indian Standard in the early 1980s, clearly inspired by the contemporary Chrysler/Talbot Horizon, but not based on the car as it used a modified, rear-wheel-drive Triumph Herald platform from the Gazelle model Standard India produced until the late 1970s. This was planned as a potential Gazelle replacement which didn't progress beyond this one example.

Well done, another point to you, and now only five points away from quiet oblivion! Here's the front view as well.
