Stunning car, and now looking good on the 17" alloys from shhh! "” you know who!

I don't normally like the body-coloured wheel inserts but it looks good here.

I know it's an odd comment.... but is that Coupe emblem on the side factory on an Interceptor?
The weird part being I have two of those emblems - I am pretty sure they are identical in every way- that a fellow gave me back in the early 1980s when I was building my (1940 Plymouth) Coupe.
He told me they were off an import, but I know it wasn't a Jensen... maybe a European car of some sort....?

They were of a Plymouth Cricket, or a Morris Marina as we Europeans know them. I seem to recall that's also where the hideous original steering wheel came from, but not certain abou that
