Icon – Jensen Interceptor
The classic ‘60s GT, lovingly restored
Actually, this car isn’t the Jensen Interceptor introduced in 1966. Nor its 1950 predecessor, also called the Jensen Interceptor. It’s not even the Jensen Interceptor Series 4 that poked its bonnet over the automotive parapet in the ‘80s. This is the 2014 edition of the Jensen Interceptor. Though it is based on the model that was built from 1966-76. Have a pat on the back.
Best of British, eh?
Actually, the Jensen brand is owned by Healy Sports Cars Switzerland, but CPP Global Holdings, a British specialist automotive group has been appointed to engineer, develop and build the Jensen Interceptor. In Coventry. In 2014.
It’s never going to happen, is it?
CPP’s founder, a chap called Brendan O’Toole, reckons “work is at an advanced stage” and that “the Jensen design team has respected the great heritage of the original Interceptor while injecting a contemporary edge. The new Interceptor will be an exceptional example of British automotive excellence.”
Except it’s Swiss
Yes, but things made in Switzerland and England have a common bond: they’re furiously expensive. There’s no official price yet, but don’t expect to be able to trade your Vauxhall Corsa for one. Or even a fraction of one. Unless the Corsa becomes a classic by 2014.

If this is a concept car I would be so glad to park it on my garage! The lines are really looking smooth and greatly matches its stainless exhaust tips.
