It looks like a sedan prototype for a Jensen Interceptor...

Yes, suppose similar-ish around the bootlid and back lights to the Interceptor Coupe (the one based on the convertible).
But it's nothing to do with Jensen at all!

Apologies, this is actually the Rover P8 Proposal from 1969, designed by David Bache

Yes.

But whilst P8 is the internal reference it actually has a model name and/or number written on the bootlid.  Any idea what it says (2 items)?

Locked for your reply!

Well I honestly have no idea, I only know it as the P8.
I suppose it could be 3500.... maybe 3500 S ?

Actually the P8 has featured as a puzzle before, but it is a different (albeit quite similar-looking) proposal from my new puzzle.

So I'd like to have its actual name rather than internal number for that point; and it's not 3500!

Yes!
Sorry barrett, I'll have to give the point to Hondast as he has come up with the right answer.
Better luck next time.
