Jensen Interceptor

I know it's the wrong car but I've loved these since I was a kid. Saw this one whilst visiting the Maritime Museum at Greenwich at the weekend so thought I'd share the pics.

So sad they deserve to be loved, need deep pockets though even deeper than S2 ownership

This person may be able to asset with advice.

I’d definitely have kept the RS2.

My friend has a mint 31 000 mile Jensen, lives in heated garage behind a secret partition, taxed n tested always insured
Poor bloke has macular degeneration in both eyes, has injections in them once a month
Daren't drive the Jensen in case he bumps it!
So his advice is drive every car you've ever wanted to while you can

this was the fast car in Getaway PS2 game! didnt know about them before then, seriously big engines 6-7 litres?

[bluequattro]

I think 440cu in = about 7.2 in the 6 pack engines
Torque rather than bhp
My friend has a Chevy 383 that he has home built a turbo kit for
650 rwhp

Amusing cars, stroppy at their best. A mate gave me one to make an exhaust for, he said I could borrow it once done, it had no fuel in it. I put in £20, I didn't get very far. Sounded the hooters though...

West Bromwich my friend! They are Black country through and through!

I do like them and yes, they were incredibly advanced for their time. 4 wheel drive and ABS.

Have a look at where the Jensen brothers were born and raised, where they had their 1st job, the fact the factory was just a few miles of some line on the map.

Bit like I laugh at the west brom ground being in the birmingham post code
