Film location excludes Paykan so choice is 1967+ Sunbeam Minx or 1970+ Sunbeam Hunter d/l. I think Sunbeam Minx is safer choice (and we haven't got another definite one on the database). -- Last edit: 2011-02-01 21:30:13

But I don't have local knowledge. The other unknown is whether Australian-assembled Hillman Hunters were shipped to HK (and if they were what badges were used in HK). I've seen photos of Aus Hunters which look identical to UK, but have the Hillman side badge below the side trim. No such badge here, but I'm not sure if all Aus Hunters had this badge. However I'd assume this is UK car unless anyone can confirm the Aus theory as definitely happened
