Jensen

1 guide · 1966–1976

Jensen of West Bromwich spent the 1950s and 60s building muscular gentleman's expresses — the 541 and CV8 — before delivering its masterpiece in 1966: the Interceptor, Vignale-styled around Chrysler V8 power, with the vast glass tailgate that became its signature. Its sibling, the FF, was years ahead of the industry as the first production GT with four-wheel drive and anti-lock brakes. The company failed in 1976, but the Interceptor's blend of Italian style, American muscle and British character has made it an enduring and increasingly valued classic.
