Franco-British Chrysler, looks like early 180 from 1971.

I don't think anyone British would want to lay claim to this turkey, they must have sold a dozen or 2 here?

.. and my dad had 2 of them as Chrysler lease cars. It was a joint Poissy-Ryton design project also intended for UK production as a new Humber Hawk with a V6 in 2.0 and 2.5 sizes, but Chrysler pulled the plug very late, even though a lot of tooling had already been installed at Ryton, all of which was then scrapped. I've never seen pictures of the Hawk design, but I remember my dad's disappointment when the 160/180 emerged about how bland they looked with the final Simca styling, so I guess the Hawk would have been different.

A teacher at school had one so that just leaves another 21 to account for?

With this body it can't hides its origins :D (part of it), it is more similar to British cars of that era than to anything French. Personally I do not consider it as ugly representative of this "design trend", prefer its appearance more than e.g. this of Cortina Mk III.
The later, also "drawn" in UK, 1307/08/Alpine had already more international look.

In West Germany it was a good seller, but only for a short while, then they extinct quite fast.
A red 2 Liter was the car of my wife's early childhood, her father owned one.
I had the first high speed adventure in a Chrysler 180, owned by a friend of my father: I was impressed and upset, when I saw the speedometer-needle passing the 140 km/h mark - more than the speedometer in my dad's 9/1967 VW 1300 could show! :wow:
