"Despite the claim for the 'new' 1200, most of the cars featured were the original 948cc powered car - even the estate which was a prototype 948 (X commissioned) car. HP cars were all Coventry registered, local to the factory at Canley and with most of the 948cc convertibles sent abroad seems a London-registered YX-plate convertible was drafted in at the last minute."

7029 HP was a development car - Commission Number Y11011. The other Heralds seem to be assorted development cars, such as the 948cc estate mentioned above, and some have the larger front indicators/sidelights which arrived on production cars in 1965.

7029HP is a Coupé, not a saloon. It is even the same colours as my coupé, 9071RW, another Coventry registered car.
