Body colour: Crystal Blue Metallic. "The latest 1:43 scale release on the Jensen Interceptor appears decorated in an attractive metallic light blue with cream interior, tan and silver steering wheel and black/tan dashboard/instrument panel. Note too the replica Jensen badge faithfully reproduced on the bonnet, not to mention thesignature Jensen wrap-around rear window. The new design for the Interceptor was commissionedby Jensen from Touring in Milan, however Touring were not in a position to manufacture thevehicle and Jensen approached Vignale in Turin to create the first 50 or so vehicles beforetransferring production to West Bromwich. Jensen sent a C-V8 to Turin in March 1966 andthe body was removed and a new body and interior installed on the original chassis. The firstcar, BEA 693C was driven from Turin to West Bromwich in June 1966 and survived into the1970s." Oxford 'Globe' issue No.228.
