It was the Premier President.
The Premier President was produced in only one year: 1973.

The 1972 model was a Fiat 1100D and the 1974 model was a Padmini.

AFAIK, the only distinguishing characteristics of the Premier President, were
a very peculiar stamped aluminium radiator grille (now a collectors item)
and
the Yenkay instrument cluster which changed in 1973 and again in 1974.

I remember a Premier advertisement, proudly announcing that the Padmini has new "jewellery", a new instrument cluster!!!

The Padmini had 22-gauge steel, way thinner and cheaper than the 18-gauge sheet metal of the Fiat 1100D.
