The Lamborghini 350GT of Jensens. Cool, but not Interceptor cool.
 
It's kind of funky lookin'... but it's an SZ from me

It does look a little 350GT ish, and the lines over the fenders are a bit 300sl-esque.
 
It's an interesting car to look at, but it's strangely handsome.
Cool.
 
Not pretty enough to be sub-zero but still Cool.
 
In my opinion, most British coupes from the era look remarkably similar. This one looks unique, but that isn’t always a good thing. It just isn’t pretty.

(The green roadster in Additional Images hurts too look at. It’s like the automotive equivalent to a toad.)
 
The lovechild of a DB5 and a Humber Snipe, but still cool.
 
Definitely a "Meh". There are prettier British cars from that era.
