Am I mad to perceive a certain beauty in this?

Anyone know much about them?

Looks like a Chrysler with some sort of British Leyland grille.

Quite an English styled car, hence the name i guess.

Apart from the front (Austin Cambridge?), looks like the designer wanted to merge an Arnage with a Phantom

The name sounds suspiciously like racial slang for white people.

Maybe that's the idea.

It seems that one was produced in the early 60s, it looks quite cool though. much rather have a Figaro for retro coolness biggrin

Their more recent cars are awful imo.

It looks very recent to me. Very modern styling towards the rear.

I find it a bit more tasteful than a phantom..

Manages to pull off the retro thing without looking like a cartoon

there is something incredibly badass and retro about that. it's clearly a phantom in profile but overall i like. it's quite 'Zil'.
