Standard 8?

Sorry, I didn't see this reply (for some reason it hadn't got highlighted as a new reply).
Despite appearances to the contrary, this car is not a Standard 8!
That would be a bit too easy...

US-market Triumph Sedan (i.e. Standard 10).

Yes!
And its name (according to some websites around, although I don't remember it being called that at the time but then maybe I was too young to know!)

I think the correct name is Sedan, but often referred to as a TR10.

I've never seen it referred to as 'Sedan' by name, which after all only means 'saloon' in American, so I'd be surprised if any actually called their model 'Sedan'!
TR10 is what it is referred to as so it's another point for you.

Thanks.

From the Vintage Triumph Register: "The car was never officially called the "TR10," although many have referred to it as such over the years. In fact, Workshop Manuals, Spare Parts Catalogues and sales literature refer to the cars only as the Triumph Sedan or Triumph Estate Wagon. The only references to "10" are found on the car itself: on the Commission number plate (which refers to the Triumph 10HP), and on the front badge."

Yes, as I thought really.
It was apparently meant to be an 'upmarket' version of the Standard 10 for the US market; a heater was still on the options list, mind you, which perhaps tells you what the management in the UK understood about the US market...
