Back in the 70′s I was a mechanic on these along with Mercedes, never got over hearing those V8′s go out the workshop, a few of our customers used to ditch the six pack carbs for 2 x 4 chokes, absolutely awesome. I do believe Jensen was the first 4WD super car with ABS.

Gentlemen,

We worked for nearly three years to produce this car. It was born from our desire to have a useable, reliable, efficient and powerful Jensen. All things can be criticised but I drive this car every day and she is beautiful and all of the above. My Daughter is about to spend three years in Sydney so if anyone would like me to bring them one then please contact me via our web site as soon as possible and I will be delighted to sort out a car for you!

Kinda wonder why they chose the GM powerplant instead of trying to keep closer to the Interceptor heritage and use a Chrysler Hemi – the 6.1L SRT8 variant would work a treat in this, sounds much better as well. Even the 5.7L could give them performance to better the originals while offering DOD for better economy.

Just seems wrong to me to have a Chev in a Jensen – worse even than a Chev into a Jag!

I have a Interceptor 7.2 litre chrysler…never been opened…runs like a clock…new carb, manifold and cam was usd 2.000….375 hp…drives the shit of any jaguar/aston from same era and doesnt need a negine rebuild of usd 20.000 every 10.000 km.

And then the luxury….lambswool carpets, everything in leather and even ashtray in silver…

One of the most underrated cars ever….check the price of a American Muscle car with same engine and gearbox and drive train….cost 5 times more and you wrapped in vinly and plastic…while i got a standard like a rolls royce…a no brainer.
