That's right.
The future face of Vauxhall is there to see way back in 1965, 8 years before the original droop-snoot Firenza first appeared.
Here's a picture of it with its 1965 registration, which is actually only a handful of digits away from the publicity photos of the new Vauxhall Cresta PC just announced and on which this one-off prototype was based; the car was broken up without ever being seen publicly:

Full size with a member of the oft-featured Vauxhall typing team; a larger shot of the puzzle pic; a pic with Aubrey Cohring, who lead the project at Vauxhall.
