That is one of the BL safety vehicles - SRV3. Pedestrian frontal impact is now legislated in Europe - fascinating to see how advanced BL thinking  was at the time.  The low bonnet line was intended to sweep impacted pedestrians onto the bonnet as the vehicle slowed - rather than going underneath. And the smooth profile to minimise injury.

Not a 'stying' exercise on the 1800 - this was research only - thought it did cross over into TR7 designs.

It actually improves the look of the 1800, I think.
