Jensen Interceptor R

[legavroche]

Saw a 'new' Interceptor R at Prescott the other day. Made by Jensen International Automotive Ltd. the car looked magnificent, every bit as iconic as the original. Fitted with a GM LS V8 producing 429 bhp with a four speed auto box the car can certainly move! It had a gorgeous interior as well. I spoke to the firms boss who told me that 12 cars were either completed or in various stages of work at a cost which varied between about 100K and 180K depending on owners preferences.

If there is a market for the Jensen there must surely be a similar market for the S6, it will be interesting to see what Toby Silvertons plans are for the new venture. It will be even more interesting to learn what long term plans Frazer Nash Research have for the Bristol marque.
