If this has been done before, I apologise, but I saw one of these the other day and was immediately reminded of this. Okay, I'll admit I've not been well, so perhaps it's the drugs:

Hi Gb, that's a new one, and quite apt. Here it is with another spiritual forebear.

Could Mercedes's 1960s fronts have been inspired by Facel?

1965 USA - the vertical stack headlamp look was in at Buick and Cadillac.

I still don't like them, but they don't look so bad today. Meanwhile I can sort of see a styling progression from Jowett to 190SL.
Pininfarina had a go at a Jowett, and it came out looking like a ... Pininfarina design.
Later, Jowett had a go at a more modern prototype themselves, and it looked a bit Touring.
