About the Jensen Interceptor

If you grew up in the 1970s then you - or someone you know - has probably always dreamt of driving a Jensen Interceptor.  It's that sort of classic car.  In which case a classic car hire gift voucher could be the ideal present.  Our high quality, stylish gift vouchers are totally flexible and let you choose the value or choose the classic car and reserve a particular date up to 12 months in advance.  Or you can leave the car and date flexible and let the recipient choose. 

The Jensen Interceptor has been described as a 'rites of passage' classic car by Practical Classics magazine (http://www.practicalclassics.co.uk/).  James Elliott, editor of Classic & Sports Car, (http://www.classicandsportscar.com/) acknowledged the same when he recently bought his metallic gold Jensen Interceptor Mk 1.  The Interceptor also recently topped a reader's poll of best classics in Auto Trader magazine's Classics supplement.

With four seats, a large boot and powerful V8 engine, at its launch in 1966 the Interceptor was ideal for long-distance travel and continental touring.  It found an immediate niche amongst businessmen and celebrities who wanted an alternative to a Rolls Royce or Aston Martin.  It provided wheels for The Saint too - visit www.lesliecharteris.com for details.  But by 1976 when Jensen closed its doors for good, the world had changed dramatically and the Interceptor was an anachronism. 

Today the Jensen Interceptor has reached iconic status, not least thanks to its gorgeous styling – defined by its massive rear hatchback – and tremendous 7.2 litre engine. 

Cropredy Bridge Garage has just announced production of the 'as new' Interceptor S.  Only 50 will be available.  For more details visit http://www.veight.web.com/.
