Not Mopar powered though!

From Classic Car:
A new Jensen is heading our way in 2016, and here are some early pictures of it. It'll be powered by a supercharged 6.4-litre V8 from GM, so it'll shift.

Nice, but it looks like they have been lazy and just nicked the rear lights off an XF.

Mind you, Aston used to do stuff like that in the 60's and it did not hurt them............

They were never shy of a parts bin.
Granada tail lights were popular, I seem to remember seeing them on allsorts

It reminds me of "Skinny Latte" current Dodge Challenger front meets Aston "OI" rear......

Done a bit more research...
It'sa new company using the Jensen name, run by Aston Martin boss Tim Hearley

Good, like the rebirth of old Brit marques. A bit like Triuuph and Norton. . If i could afford it ,I'd thoroughly back all with purchases.
