Only £1,295-00 for the bag.
I think the car is real because if you watch the 13-second video you see the bag melting and flowing away.
And Interceptors do have a reputation for overheating!
Isn't it one of the rare Coupes which have fewer horizontal slats to the grille?

That Handbag ad is just an illustration and the car really does represent an Interceptor. The Coupe pictured pretty sure has had the grill modified. Beautiful car though! :)

The Coupes left the factory with the six-slat grille.
I think the hatchback Interceptor has eleven.
I see there's no Interceptor badge on the front grille of the Coupe.
Cropredy call it the Jensen Coupe.

If so I stand corrected! Same grille with the slats replaced by a spacer probably. :)

Heavily modified, or computer aided design. Never seen headlights like that, and where is the bonnet badge and indentation?

Yes, it looks like an artistic rendering, but probably based on the Jensen Coupe. Not necessarily the one for sale at Cropredy.
Reversed image? (LHD)
Perhaps they wanted the car anonymised so as not to detract from the product they are advertising?
The Mulberry badge is what you are supposed to watch as it floats forward across the bonnet.
The Jensen badge would have obstructed that effect.
Maybe Keith can comment.
As a technical author and illustrator, he understands stuff like this.

ImageYes the grill is the same sort of design as a Coupe with the fewer slatsImage, but has much thicker slats, re-made I guess with polished Stainless bar or maybe as suggested by Stephen and Adrian modified effect with a computer program..ImageKeithImage What say you Mr Man?Image
