I just got through watching !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! (1969), a psychedelic British sci fi/comedy/James Bond spoof. Bizarre story, bad acting, lots of bewbs. Anyway, at the beginning of the film, our hero races home in the car on the left. Can anybody tell me what it is?

I think a 1969 Monteverdi High Speed 375 L. Here's some literature: http://bringatrailer.com/2009/08/24/swi…

No. It's a Jensen Interceptor.

Close, but according to imcdb it's something else. Could be based off it. Monteverdi High Speed 375

L.

Then, IMDB could be wrong. To me, that's a Jensen Interceptor.

Nope.

You know wikipedia can be wrong and anyway your link has nothing about Zeta One or The Love Factor as it was also known.

Yes it is. I've already mentioned this 15 mins ago but Autovox won't listen and is convinced it's a Jensen.

I think you are right. What makes it definitive (I think) are the horizontal vents just aft of the front wheel. The Jensen does not have these.

Thank you.

To be honest, it actually looks like a spruced up Jensen, hence the confusion, it most likely IS ONE.

They are definitely similar looking but this is a Monteverdi High Speed 375.

But it's not a Jensen Interceptor.

This is a Jensen Interceptor:

And this is a Monteverdi High Speed 375L:

Note the Monteverdi has those horizontal vents on the fender behind the front wheels. This is apparent in the head picture in the article. The Jensen has a vertical vent instead. Also note: the Monteverdi is a fat load sleeker than the Jensen and has the slipperier silhouette overall.
