Interesting.. it claims to be a Corona Mark II... but my understanding is that everywhere else in the world they were always 6 cylinder... and there sure isn't room for a six in that engine bay.
Perhaps they call it "Mark II" as in this is the second model of Corona they had been sold?
Either way.. very cool.

Yeah its RT (r series 4 cyl) model (not an M series), I think its actually the second generation of Corona made (like you said), but you are well right it isn't a mk2! 
I agree its a mad car however you look at it!

That's definitely a Corona Mk2. These were the first series of Mk2s - their chassis code is something like RTxx and are actually based on the old Coronas. They had a range of different engines - earlier ones had the 4R (factory twin SU carbs, cast iron headers, front disc brakes) whilst later ones ran the 8R-B. They look like the one in the pictured in the links kindly provided by Jayem.
In 1972, the second series of Corona Mk2s were released, and they had the chassis designation xX-10 for the 4 door and xX-22 for the coupe (a station wagon was also offered but I don't know the model code). They were available with an 18R or an M engine. Subsequent models were offered with the 2M and 4M engines, and the 18R was offered in the certain markets right thru to Sept 76. They look like the one pictured in my avatar. This model spawned the Cressidas (but still known as the Mk2 in Japan).

That's is Corona mk2 RT-70/1/2. Here's some info http://www.crown-corona.org/index.php?p=12&s=3.
Looks like it's actually 68-70' model only sold in 71'.
As a interesting side note I should mention that it runs on Russian 95E gasoline(really cheap crap). Owner of that car lives nearby russian border and so he gets hes gasoline from there.
What do you estimate about that cars HP? Article doesnt say that.
