The base car is obvious, but I'd like to know what is special about this particular example, what it was meant to become, and what its nickname was. One point if you know

This is "Big Bertha", a circa 1970 "mule" for the abortive next-generation big Jensen known as the F-type. The car was based on a Jensen Interceptor II and was equipped with a Mopar 440 Six-Pack engine.
