Yes, Austin Maxi. Never produced here, they would be personal imports I think. The blue one is owned by a ex Leyland employee.
Heres the pest pic could find. Leyland in the UK made the bizarre discussion (to save money most likely) to reuse the Austin 1800 doors, so the door pretty much dictated it's shape and size.

John Lennon famously crashed one in 1969 with Yoko and family, he had borrowed one when he found his Mini Cooper would be too small for a trip. Both He and Yoko were injured.
