Details
“The Jensen Interceptor saloon had a distinctive large, curving wrap-around rear window that doubled as a tailgate. The original specification included electric windows, reclining front seats, a wood rimmed steering wheel, radio with twin speakers, reversing lights and an electric clock. It was by Jensen Motors between 1966 and 1976, with over 6,400 being produced. The car broke with Jensen tradition by having a steel body shell instead of glass-reinforced plastic and by having the body designed by an outside firm, Carrozzeria Touring of Italy, rather than the in-house staff. The early bodies were Italian-built, by Vignale, before production by Jensen themselves began in West Bromwich.” Oxford 'Globe' issue No.115
