My guess: The car was shipped with the cap in line with the body, the
Photographer thought it looked better at 90 degrees, the Art Director
wanted it at 45. The brochure was printed before anyone at Leyland
saw it, and they didn't notice it...Probably all would be amazed
we're talking about it 30 years later.
