1966+ for the door badge but only if dsl agrees... I would bet a 1967+ SUNBEAM badged car.,,, but... Why a Chamois and not an Imp ?

The faux grille was smaller on the Super Imp. I listed it as a 1966 when I identified it for the same reason stated above, BTW.

Agree plaque = Oct 65 to Sept 68. Can't decide if a genuine Chamois grille or a reflection from the lights; also the Chamois grille was not very wide. Nothing else looks Chamois, - no side trim strip or side window trim, fixed quarterlights - so seems simple Imp and agree Sunbeam more likely after the mid-66 rebranding.

Sorry for intruding, Ingo has asked if there's something made for CH on this car and I see no answer to that but the tag has been added for which reason, by the way?

Because of the probable export rebranding as Sunbeam from Hillman.

CH wasn't the only country it was exported as Sunbeam, though. Nissans were sold as Datsuns during a time exported out of Japan around all over the world and that does not mean they were made specifically for that country.

So what do you suggest?

No general 'made for export' tag on the site yet. But also half unfair to tag as CH-spec considering the fact that this could have probably been bought from any other export country that it was sold under this name and then imported into CH. I would have just wanted to see a reply as to what Ingo asked before the tag was added. 'Any made for CH bits?' In short, no visual ones but a general probable export model name was the reason why it was tagged as such, from what I understand.

Yes. No apparent visuals, just the probable renaming. I have a 1966-only list of Imp export destinations which includes CH.
