Is number 10 a Jensen? (Maybe a 541?)

Hmmm....

The more I try to find another picture to backup the ID of car 10 per the place where I found it, the more I think it may have been misidentified.

As in one-off? No.

A handful of these were built. It's a more aerodynamic greenhouse from a third party, attached to a production car with a (normally) none-too-slippery removable hardtop.

It has a roll cage so it might be a powerful car. Does the base car have a big engine? (6cyl. or more?) ,

It resembles a little the light weight fixed-head hardtops for Jaguar E-Types. Is Jaguar the right trace?

Greenhouse 10 isn't an Elva GT Courior Coupe I suppose?!
