The Jensen Interceptor is one of Britain’s most charismatic grand tourers, blending hand-built West Bromwich craftsmanship with Italian styling by Carrozzeria Touring and serious American V8 muscle. Produced from 1966 to 1976, it is best remembered for its distinctive wraparound rear glass, long bonnet and effortlessly elegant fastback profile. Underneath, Chrysler V8 power gave the Interceptor the relaxed torque and cruising ability that made it ideal for long-distance touring, while leather trim, timber detailing, air conditioning and automatic transmission placed it firmly in luxury GT territory.

Among enthusiasts, the Interceptor is also famous for the FF variant, which featured Ferguson Formula four-wheel drive and anti-lock braking, making it one of the most advanced performance cars of its era. That technology arrived years before similar systems became common in prestige vehicles, giving Jensen a fascinating place in motoring history. The car has appeared in television, classic car magazines and auction headlines, often celebrated as an underrated alternative to Aston Martin, Bristol and Maserati grand tourers of the same period.

For owners and restorers, maintaining a Jensen Interceptor means paying attention to cooling, ignition, braking, suspension and electrical systems, especially given the heat generated by its large V8.
