For 1968, a station wagon appeared, derived from the Hunter estate car. For 1969-70, it was basically a Singer Gazelle, but with the 1725cc engine and a Minx grille. The Canadian Arrow of this period was more closely related to the Hillman Minx." No chrome side strip, so looks Minxy to me.

Could be 1970 revamp (when Minx became Hunter DL in UK) and Minx/round light grille replaced by rectangular lights, but if these were not permitted in CDN, maybe they stayed with first format.
