What still confuse me is that (must be those) red mark over the front wheel. Clearer in the thumbnail (but not in the center) it doesn't looks a damage in the body car and looks (that red trim) part of the body style.

Most probably a 1500 [118H], though the 1600 S was available on special request. The red mark is primer (I remember the same colour on our Hillman Minx).
