This car was one car ahead of us, numerically, on the Monte Shelton rally last year, so I stared at it’s rear end for three days. It is a beautiful old car. Do you know what it is?
sfoskett guessed right: A Maserati Mistral. 1967 to be exact. I’ve relinked the original unretouched photo now (I photoshopped off the badges when originally posted)
Looks even better from the front, and the twin-plug DOHC six under the bonnet is pretty sexy too.
It looks an awful lot like a Jensen Interceptor from this angle, but I’m probably wrong.
Good guess now that you say it, but as you surmised… wrong.
Could it be a Maserati Mistral? Those tail lights sure look familiar! I think Ghia used the same parts on the Jensen Interceptors of the day…
Indeed it is a Mistral. I’ll edit the post to put the badges back on…
