    Met a dude a few weeks ago that owns one. Have to admit I hadn't heard of it and probably not seen it either

    Do you know what it is?

    No, but I want one.
    Looks British. Like the bastard child of a disgruntled Aston engineer maybe?

    Good guess but no cigar. It sure looks like the Volvo P1800 driven by Simon Templar (Roger Moore) in The Saint

    Not bad either. Was there a coupe indeed?

    My dad's first car was a '64 sprite MkII

    I belive that is either a Jensen (410?) or a Peerless. But I could be wrong :)

    OK it is a Jensen but it's a 541 not a 410 (no such thing as a 410 AFAIK, I might have been mixing it up with a Bristol model)

    129 of which 105 had the Rolls-Royce 4 speed autobox. Built between 1960 and 1964, it has an Austin 4.0 liter straight 6 engine
