Think of Renault as a powerhouse racing entity, not a carmaker, and you'll be fine with it!

The lovely, carefully restrained BMW 3-series wagon, the E30 iteration to be specific. Probably a 316i or 318i Touring--I doubt the RHD markets other than Oz would've bought many of the six-cylinder versions.

Standard Gazelle, which was the four door Triumph Herald made only in India. They made it until about 1980, and this is one of the later ones, because the bonnet was like the early Herald until the mid seventies, long after our Heralds had gone over to the slant-edge bonnet which looked more like the Vitesse.
 
That's a Mahindra Jeep behind it.

Well played, sir. It's a Standard Gazel Mk2.

Yup, an E30 BMW 318i Touring, a sweet little number never exported to the USA, ca. '80s-early '90s.

Can anyone name another automaker who used the model name of "Gazelle"?

Two, at least.
 

 

 
I guess Standard of India used the variant spelling "Gazel" to avoid trademark issues under British Commonwealth regulations. Probably moot though--I think Singer as a brand was pretty much gone by 1970, and no one would've mistaken the Standard for the roadster from Fiberfab/CMC.
