I saw one cruise by in Portland the other day. Could not believe it. I saw one in traffic in Mass this summer as well. Two in I can't think how many years, 30 probably
Never seen one in person
I used to see one all the time. I don't see it anymore so I think it's been scrapped:

I was stunned to see it, now i want one after seeing it in person
Our club President for Life has one. Cold AC and 12 MPG.
Fun fact, the Jensen almost came in AWD. Apparently, a few were sold that way. It cooked on track. It’s like an awd mopar!

There was also plans for a 426 Hemi AWD model.

It was produced as the Jensen FF:

It just couldn't be sold in the US or other RHD markets due to the way the drivetrain layout worked out.
Aside from the extra grill on the side and the 5 inches of extra length, another way to tell them from the regular Jensen is the higher floor boards on the passenger side of a LHD car.

I believe you have your LHD and RHD designations reversed.
That car was designed over a single week right before a 3 day bank holiday weekend. They started with the front on a Monday morning and progressed nicely. By mid morning Friday they were just beyond the b-pillar and the schedule was getting tight. The thought of a glowing hearth and lukewarm ale was, alas, just too much to take. The final 20% of the car was designed in under an hour with little thought given to how it would fit in with the rest.
In reply to A 401 CJ :
It is pretty rough.
A few years ago there was a study that reported that half the English workforce was drunk after lunch.
