It was at least depicted in the garage handbook that I had in the time I owned one (a Conquest Century Saloon that is). Century of course indicates the 100hp (Century in general indicating things one hundred, a century race is a race over 100 miles).
The Conquest name has to do with the original price, which was 1066 pounds. 1066 being the year of the big conquest (don't ask me which one!)

Thanks for the update, the fact that the car was invited for Schwetzingen made me think that it rather rare.
The Vikings were involved in the 1066 conquest...
