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

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.
