Sure you don't mean a Chrysler product from 1975? Built in UK (at Ryton) as
a Chrysler Alpine, and in France as a Simca 1308, later in both countries as
a Talbot. As I recall it was voted Car of the Year 1975, and was in a
different class to anything produced by BL at the time (superior!).
Or, also a Chrysler product, a two-door RWD hatchback built in UK (at
Linwood, which had previously produced the Hillman Imp) as a Chrysler
Sunbeam, which had a later tuned variant, the Talbot Sunbeam Lotus (2.2
litre, 155bhp, 0-60 is about 6 secs, WRC winner 1980). It was a chopped
down redesign of the Hillman Avenger, which those across the pond may know
as a '72/'73 Plymouth Cricket.

BL later sold an ugly little 4-door sedan under the Sunbeam Alpine name, at
least in the US.
