The Jensen Interceptor was certainly an impressive car in it's day. My Mum and Stepdad had a car dealership when I was a teenager (mainly VW and Volvo, but they were the agents for the Jensen Interceptor for a short period. The best part was they had one in the showroom for a while. I don't think they sold many. Would have been too expensive for most Taswegians in those days I would imagine.  :crazy1:
