The Jensen Interceptor...

The Interceptor was styled in 1967 by the great design house,Touring of Milani. At the beginning of the production the bodies were built by Vignale in Italy before Jensen switched production to the UK. The car’s most distinctive feature was a large curved...
Remember it was designed...

Early cars from 1975 are becoming recognised as classics. These cars will all need restoration but could be a good long term proposition. If you want something more drivable buy a post April 1994 car or even better a 1995 onwards Celebration Edition car.

I don’t mean the Interceptor was proud, but when you opened the door you said, “Lovely - but where will we put anything?” It’s already full! Upholstered with 7 hides, carpeted with 6 sq m of wool rugs, huge transmission tunnel - little space for 2 people ...

I’ve bought a number of cars despite knowing they were crap. In general I mean, not the specific one I bought (I hoped). Recently I got a Chevy Volt plug-in hybrid. I bought it rather than lease - partially to get the rebates and such, but also because it...
