Jensen Interceptor FF
I've always wanted one but never been able to justify the grief.....

Love them, but from a total production of around 300-350 I can't imagine there's many left. For proper rarity would have to be the soft top version lol think they only made a handful.
There was one at the Goodwood breakfast club the other week, plus I know there's one in the Brooklands Museum that used to belong to Ricardo and was used for testing - aside from the revolting mustard coloured paint it's probably one of the best non-restored Interceptors around |

Wonderful vehicles
Had one, just the Boggo one (if you could ever describe one as that), not the FF, the SP, or the drop top.... It may have been a ropey old shed, but I loved it, while it lasted

I found them average-looking, not quite ugly, but not far off. The nose looked pretty similar to the NSU Ro80, but I found the NSU a prettier car.
Nice beefy V8 motor though.

Loved them ever since I can remember. The FF being the first 4 wheel drive production sports car.
Nearly bought a very early Vignale built MK1 2WD a couple of years ago in the pale blue of the original Earls Court show vehicle. Wish I had gone through with it

Respect!
Looks like I really picked one judging by the responses. (always been one of my dream cars since not long after puberty...) |

Just to join, I too have always, and still do regard the Interceptor as a true classic, not sure how anyone could ever describe them as approaching ugly, that mad piece of glass in the rear never stops moving, there isn't a flat on it anywhere!!
Incidentally, another first for the FF model was Dunlop Maxaret brakes, first production car to ever have ABS, that EVERYONE takes for granted now!! I have promised myself one before I die. Picking up on Nollywoods mention of the Ro80, I believe I may be involved in a photo shoot later on having my 3.7 A8 parked next to an Ro80, if this ever occurs, I'll be sure to upload piccys!! Best Regards to all, Steve |

Good ones are really appreciating in value, despite the 'economic situation' out there
