Name this car. Early 1980s content.

Watching an early episode of Shoesting there was this car with Christopher Biggins as the baddie



I thought Bristol, Maserati, Aston Martin. I know I am probably being thick and should hand my membership in but what is it? I suspect it would be more a late 1970s car as "V" is 1980s plate.

Maserati Quattroporte III I think.

De Tomaso Deauville

XJ40 with different lights - maybe a TWR special?

I thought that but the headlights are round and the Maseratis are square.

Badge looks right, although it does look a bit like one of those Daimler Sovereigns too.

I think it's a Maser - there was a rumour that it was so like the Jag that Jag got upset and consulted their lawyers - but that may just be a load of old tosh.
