From the attire, the photo's clearly from the 70s, so the car must've been brand new then- or just a few years old.

That seems to be more like a Ford Popular or Prefect as the Hillman had a distinct boot that protruded from the body line.

Definitely a Prefect- the Popular (a.k.a Pop) was only 2-door.
