(That may knock out one idea I've been accumulating that RHD export Rootes to eg HK may have stayed as Hillman etc.). Badge is also DL or GL (not Super) in panel above the Avenger script, but chrome filler cap = GL. So 1970-73 Sunbeam Avenger GL.

The plates on the other cars aren't clear but they are American size, like Taiwan plates. This fake Hong Kong plate is also American size.
