That is very much a LK car.

....the interior is kind of neat, especially for a car of that era.

That's a nice car--discreet enough not to be instantly recognizable by the masses, but flamboyant enough to be distinctive.

Pininfarina made a prototype of the Mercedes SL as well:

I've never seen a more phallic-looking shifter.

It's a Ferrari....the shifter has to compensate for what the owner doesn't have.

Not to mention extremely expensive to service / own. Plus the almost-new (i.e. hardly used) leather from the now defunct Connolly adds to the charm.
