Could it be an Australian built Austin 1300 estate ?

No such animal. Ours were all Morris sedans and a good number of the 1275 engined ones were badged 1100S.

It must have been an early prototype then.

,,,,,,,and very well made as well. A quality item.
If only it had Traveller instead of Countryman on it.
Thank you Ted for the info, appreciated. Another mystery solved.

My pleasure!
Just to add a little bit info behind the badge. I think Dinky sells some restored estate/traveller with some nice Speedwell(produced by themself)goodies and badge them as "Speedwell Super Countryman", as seen in their adverts on magazines.
