"Interceptor" is one of the best car names ever.
It’s the best :-)
Good enough for Max Rockatansky.
Right up there with the Naked Gun "Intruder" 😁
in the post-Soviet countries about this car absolutely nothing is known
It’s not an Interceptor, the FF is a stand alone car, but your right :-)
That Jensen suits Harry... like a very fast, comfortable pair of supercharged slippers
17:11 supercharged slippers lol
exactly my thoughts, looks right at home. Like some professional, under the radar, accountant looking bond villain / assassin.
Absolutely my fave car as a young lad in the 70’s, my father’s friend had a metallic bronze FF and I just loved it. This has to be by far the most exciting car that Harry has reviewed so far, probably from a nostalgic point of view maybe! I would like to see Harry review a Monteverdi 375/L .......Harry, please find one.
In the late 1970s I was a mechanic at a shop that had many customers with cool cars. One of them had a Jensen with a 440 and a Torque Flight trans. This car had very low miles and zero rust. I performed a tune up on it and part of the procedure was to remove the distributor and modify the advance curve. This improved performance that you could feel. I test drove it and "feel in love with it". What a great car!
Love when Harry says, "it has a bit of a drink problem", that's an understatement!!!
If you can afford the car then you should be able to afford to run it!
A Turtleneck is a prerequisite when driving any 60's car, especially this one!
The way they barrel down the road you probably will also finish up with a turtles head.
As I recall from my teenage days - Modesty Blaise's sidekick Willie Garvin drove a Jensen FF.
Willie was a big fan of the black turtleneck sweater ... but then again, so was Val Doonican
To hide the Adam's apple?
And a pipe
A black polo neck methinks. And a box of chocolates.
The Jensen Interceptor...one of the best names for a car.
The Best.
This is one of the very few THE car over past four decades. What a car indeed
What?
That is absolutely stunning. The most beautiful car ever, no question.
All the new cars with all the new tech, id take the looks over anything. What a beautiful car
while i agree, it sounds a bit weird to put a modern camaro engine in it.
I'd rather have an 8C and save some money as well.
The colour choice for this car is perfect as it shows off its best points, and manages to make its less attractive points look good too. It's all tastefully done and dare I say to perfection.
To me looks a bit ridiculous looking with gigantic wheel overhangs. You can tell by looking at the car it won't handle well
@@allensaunders449
Oh so overhangs make a car handle badly? Got it.
Car companies should just employ TH-cam armchair experts and save some cash on developing things as they did previously.
This is sort of forgotten gem that no one talks about anymore
Oh but we do! If you love cars, Jensen is a name that often pops up in conversations.
It's not forgotten, it's my automotive dreams all the time, lol. There was one these Jensen cars (don't know what model, but it looked like this one) in my neighborhood (Stockholm suburb) when I grew up in the mid 70's and I thought it looked so cool and I knew it had a BIG engine. I wonder what happened to it.
James, Jeremy and Richard talk about them. They even did an episode on it.
Jay Leno I think has one? It has the Chrysler engine in it? Either way awesome car and wish I had one to play with. Very cool.
@@gsmith207 The MkIII Interceptors had Chrysler 440 cubic inch cast iron V8's in.
They were an engive that ran hot naturally, even in huge Americans cars with stacks of engine bay space. Single figure MPG was the norm for these cars.
as a youngster i watched through the window at the works at kelvin way West Bromwich my love for the Jensen name grew. I was very lucky in the late 90`s to own one. It was Ferrari red with a black vinyl roof. cream interior and i had many happy hours driving it. i had started to restore it when to my horror found out someone had stolen it from a garage i was renting. I will never be able to get another one now but i always wondered what happened to it. Happy days.
That’s tragic. A vehicle ,yes but ouch.
Pretty much the ultimate gentleman's express.
I had just received my drivers license in ‘’76 and was driving around Detroit when one of these pulled next to me at a stop light. I was instantly enchanted. I went home and told my father about it - GM creative, the following weekend I came home from school and in our drive was the same car! Turned out he knew the owner. I loved my Dad!
That's an awesome dad...
A decent dad would have bought you one 😛
@@xpusostomos I suppose
@@bobwilson7384 don't agree with the troll ,I'm sure if he could have he would have .not only that you would have probably not been here to tell the story has a teen you more than likely would have killed yourself with all that power and showing off.
Anthony G you're correct about that!
I've always thought that the Interceptor is one of the most beautiful cars ever made along with the E Type & the Miura.
Are you related to Edd Chinashire?
It’s not a interceptor it’s a FF Edd. Stands for Ferguson Formula Harry Ferguson who developed the 4 wheel drive on tractors.
its a posh austin princess, which was a far prettier car , sugly
@@mmm091000 Correct it is an FF , I feel the same way how the Americans call an E-Type Jag an XKE I alway hate it when I hear that.
I think the E type is better looking ( series 1 or 2 )
Harry, I had a 1973 SP......set world land speed records, even with a 3 speed auto. It used to wheelspin in 1st, 2nd and 3rd...... and give me 9mpg when pushed hard....the most fun I ever had in a car
I love the grin in his face when he makes it roar.
I remember seeing the FF at the Earls Court Motor Show in 1968 when l was 15. On the same day I also saw the Muira. These 2 cars have been firm favourites of mine since then. Enjoyed the video.
can you imaging a Muira... with 4WD and massive updated engine etc.
I boy can't get enough from these Classics to SICK HP&TORQUE conversions!
@@g60force I think it´s Miura
Personally for me it isn’t a Jensen ff anymore , it’s taken the character out of what is an iconic classic car. !! my own personal opinion of course !
@@nicholaswestover7362 You're quite right of course, although l'm sure this is what Jensen would have produced if it was around today. I would take an original one over this though, given the opportunity.
@Steve H I like your style. Did you ever own one?
I owned the "basic" 6.3 and sold it to finance my business . Less said about that the better !😨😨 And l repainted an FF in the early '90's . The colour was "Cassis" upon further investigation it was actually Ford Aubergine ! Nonetheless it was a lovely colour. A few years back l was at a show and spotted a very nice Interceptor. I asked the owner about the car and he had just bought it and said some drummer once owned it . I told him it was probably John Bonham . "Oh yes that rings a bell " l believe that a same car is for sale at £350,000 Yes , the Interceptor is , and always will be one of my all time favourites ! Thanks Harry.
I wonder if it was John Bonham's that I saw going down Bromsgrove high street way back around 1972, he lived a few miles from Bromsrove. Love at first sight. Beautiful car.
It is actually on Ebay for £148,000
@@maxnex7676 Thanks Max. Well , l was only £200K adrift ! What niggled me at the time was this guy had no idea who John was but a couple of years later at the same show he was giving it jibber jabber about the famous owner !
In 1972, me and a car-mad school mate spotted a brand new Interceptor parked up at Benson, Oxfordshire. It was also finished in Aubergine and looked absolutely fantastic. We waited an age for the owner to come back and drive off - which he did with some gusto....I'll never forget the sight and sound of that car. Heaven.
As a kid back in the 70's, my Dad took us to many car shows, and this was always my favourite car. Love the sound from that engine. Nice this one has been improved.
My dad had a business friend back in the 70's, whom had a Jenson, he never got stopped by the police, he just drove away from them LOL
Love the rear window, spectacular production. What a name 'Interceptor'!
The Renault Feugo had a similar rear screen, which always reminded me of this class rear glass.
In my opinion this is the best looking car ever built and this has to be the best version ever. Simply gorgeous! 😍
Silly looking back window. Gigantic wheel overhangs odd look
@@allensaunders449 hehe
I`ve always loved the Interceptor, what a beautiful thing that is
All us old school car guys are just big kids at heart. We never really grew up!
Possibly my favourite car ever since one overtook me on my bicycle doing a paper round in 1979. I still remember the sound of it to this day. I thought it was from Thunderbirds!
I owned a convertible, should never had sold it, love it
No regrets, the old crate would have rotted away, or cost you an arm and a leg. It's all time relative.
Now that sir is a proper car! Thanks for showing it to us.....
Proper
Hello Mr tmf love the podcasts with Mr teapot and the rest of the westlife band
And that's how a proper car should sound! Vroom!
PROPER!
P R O P E R!!!!
Watching this on TV with surround sound and that engine bass note is bloody epic!
I think this is my favourite car Harry has ever featured, and when you consider what he's featured before - that's really saying something!!
True information about Jensen Motors: th-cam.com/video/uKxW8fC2usg/w-d-xo.html
I love the way Harry describes the car as having “a bit of a drink problem “. Lol
the original ones, yes.
c'mon guys if your are hauling 2 ton of metal around with a 7 litre engine what do you expect?
He was not exactly sparing the horses . I think single figures only for that test period. For sure.
Made me laugh too, cos that’s how I describe my car to other people.
I tell them that it’s a member of Alcoholics Anonymous.
"...But my traction control goes to 11." - Nigel Tufnel
Why not make the 10 more controlled and have that as the highest setting?
@@jonasthemovie because Spinal Tap
@@BMW_G81_M3 The correct answer is a blank stare and then "But this one goes to 11"
lol , glad i'm not the only person who thought Spinal Tap
I think it shows the people behind this awesome car have a sense of humour.
Tremendous!!
My daughter is a vet in Canada and has a GMC 1500 pickup as her farm visit/shopping vehicle with the 6.2 motor and that thing is fast. So that engine plus supercharger in that FF with a weight of only 1800kgs - I get why it puts a smile on your face!!!
I worked in a petrol station as a 15 year old during the summer hols around 1975. I filled up an orange Interceptor and was asked to check the oil; I’ll never forget putting my hand into that furnace to get to the dipstick; those engines ran hot and I’m pleased to say I sustained no serious burns just a few very nervous moments!
FFR? FFS more like. What a weapon.
Has Harry bought it though, Johnny? He seems very keen........ loving your work by the way. We TH-cam viewers are privileged these days 👍🏽 Thanks
did you just change a letter and make it more poignant? well done 'old' son
:- >
Excellent. A shame he didn't roar past the XJ to get a WTF from its driver!!!!
I think you could fit the Figaro in the trunk (boot)
Possibly the most beautiful car ever made .
But lacks integrity.
This was my Grandfathers dream car. He passed away in 1999 at a ripe 88 years old and I always said one day I’ll get one for him. I’m 37 now but the dream hasn’t died yet :)
Absolutely amazing! What a machine. Beautifully finished and detailed.
Thanks so much for sharing the love.
60s British design with American muscle. What a perfect combination.
Haha - the P51 Mustang was the opposite way around (and still great ;)
Italian
What a glorious machine - just jumped to the top of my Euromillions win shopping list! :)
As a young motorist and a dreamer in 1969 I was not a fan, I thought yhe DBS6 and later V8 was the looker for me. (I have never driven either!) Later I had a friend who had a regular Interceptor, it was 10 years old and not up to the mark,he was a Scot and did'nt spend enough to run it properly. Another chap an engineer loved them and had bunbble cars snd Jensens in equal measure,in fact I believe he had a small orchard in Kent full of them. I want one now though , Still the dreamer
Me first Squire!!
One of my favourite cars of all time - impossible to tell its age by looking at it. Even the standard version had a lot of power that needed careful handling, though. I saw one long ago on an icy morning in a field, facing the wrong way beside the Queensferry Road just outside Edinburgh.
It looks exactly like a 60/70s car...
No offence. But it’s one of the most stereotypical 60/70 cars…
That smile when you lay on the throttle 😁😁😁. That smile says it all.
This was for me the iconic car of the early 70's. When I was a paper lad one of the houses l dropped a paper in had one of these..l was mesmerized then, and still am..
Same here, must have been 7 years old (in 1978) when i seen the rear of one in a driveway, pale metallic green, the huge tailpipes, small lights, huge rear window, tiny badge, took me ages to find out what kind of car it was.
How funny. I too used to deliver papers to a house where one was parked. Metallic blue and yes, it certainly had the same effect on me. Fabulous shape.
Ah the memories.
A long time ago as a 15 year old I used to play a lot of table tennis and one day our team coach, who lived across the road from me, bought a bright yellow Mk 3 Interceptor.
I can still remember the first drive in that car to this day. What a beast, the looks and the impression it made when we pulled into the car park!
Still my favourite design of car to this day...😁👍❤️
I had a very wealthy auntie who had the interceptor mk 2 it was blue met white leather, she use to let my brothers drive it up the drive, I could never reach pedals, but the engine would rore, riding in the Jensen is one if my fond childhood memory. Thank you this refit is stunning....
What a beautiful childhood memory to see one of these.
Harry Ferguson was a genius Engineer 👌🏻😎
Indeed ...FF = Ferguson Formula. if i recall
Beautiful.....Takes me back to London in the mid to late 70's when you'd still see E Types and Interceptors in abundance....
Love Harry’s reaction after stabbing the throttle the first couple times. Just great.
Looks cool as hell.
nice tea bag
Yes like 1978 Cutlass cool. Not cool cool.
This car was in Top Trumps i had as a kid, 40 years later i still want one.
"Top Trumps", steady on now.
@@984francis yeah, i was pretty wild.
Fantastic review, thank you Harry. My Uncle briefly had a standard Jensen Interceptor and took me to Biggin Hill in 1979 - I have never forgotten that one car journey and you’ve just rekindled the memory in spades.
Thanks for the great review of the FF-R. My Dad owned a white Interceptor FF in the 70’s, it was such a beautiful car to ride in. The 8 track stereo sounded good but not as good as that 6.3ltr Chrysler V8. Then petrol prices went nuts in the 70’s and at 12 miles per gallon, my Dad had to let it go.
This, the Monteverdi 375 and the Iso grifo were all great Euro GTs. I'd love that trio update like this Jensen.
The Alfa Romeo Montreal was another strange car that i would add to that list.
And the Mercedes 280SEC 3.5 convertible
You guys are ALL Wet.....think about a the all out Euro killer car of that era...the Vector of Europe at the time, Peter Monteverdi's ultimate revenge on all the rock throwers....
The Monteverdi Hai.....hey mommy, look inside that car, see that BIG HUMP inside? Hey, what IS that?..........
I'd add the Gordon Keeble to that list too.
What a beautiful,aggresive looking British sport-tourer.Always loved the look of them.With the new powertrain,it definitely deserves to be re-badged the 'Jensen F-Off'
Excellent!
In true Yankee style lol 😆
@@chrisvig123 Yeah,when it comes to raw power V-8s, i think America has it pretty much sewn-up
What a ballsy car. Harry, you’re such a fortunate man to get to enjoy such vehicular Nirvana.
'Nirvana' is hardly the right word for such a fire-breathing monster.
That is the best episode you've ever done Harry!! I absolutely love Jenson Interceptors & that FF is bonkers!!! Love it!!
My goodness... sensory overload! What an amazing package. I’ve read about the 4WD Jensens, but had never seen one in action. And with the upgrades, it’s extraordinary.
sorry that's not a OG 1 it's a resto mod aka a chevy in sheep's 🐑clothes, besides which the 426 hemi plus packston blower FF100 car is the real beast but less than 50 were made for 2 reasons costs and liabilities
@@richardprice5978 are you talking about the GKN FFF100? They only made 1!
@@richardjackson4908 good chance, im into uk 🇬🇧 things and mopar's/dodge 60's charger's and the Jenson interceptors doesn't do it for me ( so im not the nerd with all the answers ) ( sorry not my flavour of car from a driver's point of view and so-so ownership wise as im a convertible body's styling's ect ) but i can respect the attempt at a godzilla fast-back style car as 4X4 sports car's were weird pre-1970 more so with hight-power ect.
still not for the USA 🇺🇸 chevy as the OG model is cooler and is probably a better clone or use a more uk vibes power swap aka something like a barra engine ect +4X4 ect
@@richardjackson4908 hopping to see the real unmodified FF100 hemi+blower as to me 20 years ago as a teen it seems so wild of a car i im surprised it got built and how did they get everything to fit and work and over the years considering it as a fantasy or a non finished running car but more than one source points to it running and ready for production and sales
also can't see how it can fit into my 60's charger and it's similar to a FF-Jenson
@@richardjackson4908 also kinda felt like a clickable video bate as it's not the OG real vin or good quality clone
Remember seeing one at the motor show in 1970 and instantly falling in love. Gorgeous.
I think I’d be smiling all day long driving this. Love the sound. Very very addictive...
That engine note is simply glorious! This has to be in my fantasy Euromillions garage! :-)
That took me right back to working in Oldbury, we used a cafe near Kelvin Way (then the jensen works) and the test drivers used to pull upoutside in these gorgeous cars then come in the cafe for a bacon butty. I was allowed to sit in a few and simply loved them. Sadly the drivers never took my Lambretta in part x.
Loved the Interceptor ever since. Great vlog H and what a beast that car is.
My god I never realised they were built in Oldbury!
@@matty6848 Sorry for the correction, Jenson's were built in Kelvin Way, West Bromwich.
Not very often i comment on someone's name, but yours is excellent.
I’m amused that half way through TH-cam gave me an ad for a Nissan Leaf..some contrast 😂
I got an ad for boxer shorts. Perhaps needed if one sticks one’s foot in it.
Dave, I got an ad featuring an Audi, so that's bit closer. Have to say the conversion has kept true to the original concept
Leaf meaf pleaf schmeaf. Whatever!
Wow 😮 That soundtrack....just love it. Could really see your emotions coming through there Harry, perfectly understandable ! Another great vid 👍
A definite case of having your cake AND eating it! Stunning piece of automotive art. Another engaging review from Harry.
I'm playing the lottery tonight... I've never forgotten my first sight of an Interceptor 45 years ago, shining in the sun in a baby blue metallic.
I wondered who came flying past flat out in a Jensen. Made my day. 😂
It is JENSEN not Jensen.
Pay attention to detail = It is clearly displayed on the badge
and on the C-Pillar
When you look at things be sure to see what you are actually looking at.
Pay attention to detail -
Zombies have eyes but cannot see - Ears and cannot hear.
STOP being a zombie - snap out of it - you have been brainwashed long enough.
Have you taken your medication today?
I bought a 73 Jensen 21 years ago, modified it. Put it in a sea container, and there it sits. Awaiting the day I sell for a profit. Trouble is, I paid 10k for the car, spent a further 20k on it and until recently I’m not sure It would go for much more, but this is exciting and encouraging .. thanks for the vid.
Gary Frost. He lived opposite St Peters church in Balsall Common. His father had a Gold colour FF. As a group of 13 year olds I can remember sitting in it when his father was away. Memorable!
Harry, looking good in your MilkTray Man outfit, well suited to the Interceptor!
I was slightly disappointed he didn't wear his white perforated leather driving gloves too, this car would have been perfect for them!
He’s had that jumper for 20yrs!
Bloody brilliant. In some ways it reminds me of the later Bristols Fighters, with the silly horsepowers on them. That would make quite the video as well.
Harry... Lord November is absolutely spot on... the Bristol Fighter is an incredible car and an astonishing achievement from such a tiny company... it deserves a wider audience and you'd certainly do it justice... if you can find one!
I used to have a book about interesting cars and the Bristol Fighter and Fighter T were in it. Still have it somewhere. Properly interesting cars but very niche. If I remember right they managed to get some mad hp figures out of them. There was one for sale on Ebay not very long ago
The aero Bristol Centaurus radial was 50 odd litres. Big lump and well over 2000 HP.
Great to see someone enjoying work like this , bravo .
Love at first sight” I was only 12 yrs old, when the Director of a building firm pulled up outside our house to check on his property across the rd with his secretary, the burble of the engine & styling left me spellbound” I’m 60 now. lol
Coolest name for a car PERIOD! Damn fine looking car too
One of my dream car. The gear knob doesn't really fit in with the aesthetic of the interior. Price is also a bit silly though.
Agreed. It’s looks cheap, like it should be in some mass produced Range Rover😏
Sorry. I'll get out.
That’s the only downside I’d seen as well, really looks out of place
It really does look out of place. I get that’s the GM shifter out of the CTS-V but if they figured a more retro looks to it would be better
@@thegearknob7161 and so you should! Have a word with yourself. 🤣
When I was a young lad there was a new purple Jenson interceptor FF with white leather interior with white vinyl roof and sheep skin over rugs a stunning looking car that came into a garage where my cousin worked.
The owner worked in London and lived up north he traveled on the A1 in the very early hours of Monday morning for work and traveled back every Friday night and that's all he used the car for as he used London transport through the week.
Every month he brought the car into my cousins garage to have new brake linings all round.
The owner reckoned he could get to London from Newcastle in 4 .5 hours with nothing on the road which was some feat for 1970 with all the roundabouts on the A1.
Friend of the family gave me a ride in his when it was new. What an indelible memory that is! His had a secret button to open the rear window. He wouldn't reveal the secret. Such a simple, clean and striking design. Interesting to compare a modern sports car with this classic design. No skirts, wings or flaps but if it came up behind you the urge to get out of it's way would be great! Father of a school friend had a couple of the earlier CV8s. He had been paralysed in a bad accident at Prescott but undaunted had hand controls fitted. To get kick down he would grab a walking stick and give the throttle a good jab. That large car would "lift it's skirts" and fly! Thank you Harry for all the excellent videos keep them coming!
I remember as a child seeing one every morning going to school. JED 1 E the registration was. Motoring perfection.
J D memory might be playing tricks with me, was this in South East London? There was a Jensen in the neighbourhood with a similar plate.
@@arthurdardalis it wasn’t. But I suppose there’s no reason it couldn’t be the same car. Petrol would have been about 30p a gallon at the time !!
If the original Jensen was Supersonic Velvet, then this one is an Iron Fist in a Titanium Glove. And it's absolutely glorious. I absolutely adore it ❤️
"My God, What a car this is!" Has to be the greatest compliment ever given!! Absolutely love your commentary and enthusiasm. Keep it up, Sir!
OMG.... That is simply stunning....the external colour compliments the internal colour....the sound of that engine compliments the whole car... I would buy that in a heart beat if I had the money....absolutely brilliant 👏👏👏
The Jensen Interceptor was amazing to start with but this is next level
Wow, love that rear end with crazy curved glass. And whole car is just WOW.
Nothing compares to V8 engine rumble, it's like a beast. I like V12 sound but sometimes too "sporty" for me.
My mom worked for a well to do family in Kensington as a domestic. They had the Jensen in a light blue colour; I sat in it ( I was about 7 years old), it's something you never forget. I remember turning on the radio, the external telescopic antenna extends and retracts when turning the radio off.
Great video Harry :) The Jensen interceptor is one of my all time favourites, but that car is a Beast G wizzzzz. I always loved the front and rear end (window) of this car. Maybe that's why my first American car was a 71 Buick riviera (boat tail) that had a fantastic rear window, but handled like a boat in the corners without oars. Nothing like the original Jensen handled or that Beast. But the Riviera rear had great curves........just how i like em :)
I had the joy of driving an FF and SP back in the mid-late 70s. The SP was somewhat ragged around the edges, but the FF was a real beast let down by the Torquflite(sp) gearbox.
I truly enjoy Harry's reviews, they are well informed, specific and honest. Monster v8. Great Job Harry
Hi Harry from another Metcalfe
I was a mechanic back in the day
I worked for a Jensen dealership,absolutely loved working on and driving the car
That FF is some machine
I’d still go for the original though for all it’s faults
That’s nostalgia for you Happy memories of a time of no electronics and gizmos
I suspect I’m an old Luddite
All the best
Alan
Had one and it was a joy on long journeys with the family and all the luggage.
How do you give ANY of Harry’s videos a thumbs down? Love the old Jensens and with an American supercharged V8? Ace car Harry and another outstanding review.
Love it, the best of both worlds, new engine and brakes, classic looks, one day someone will do a triumph stag and all will be well with the world.
As a 14 year old I used to see quite a few Jensen FF cars around my home town and just loved them. In 1969, £7705 would have bought a really tasty detached house, whereas £332 000 would only buy a reasonable semi - detached house today.
Where I grew up there was a 10 year old Jensen Intercepter always parked up at the end of our road!! It completely fascinated me.
It looked very out of place amongst the Ford escort mk1s, Renault 4, Morris Marinas, and Vauxhalls of the day lol😁😮😊😎👍
“Mr Bond we were expecting you...” to turn up in one of these !
Yes! I see it as Roger Moore rather than Sean Connery.
😂😂
I don’t remember seeing you laugh as often and enjoy a car this much for some time! Get one Harry!
Interceptor - the coolest name of any car, ever. What a stunning machine, now right at the top of my lottery-win shopping list. Just need to win now... Thanks Harry, excellent video
Harry I'm a avid fan of your reviews appreciating your comprehensive informative, captivating style of delivery , compared with your peers it's rather soothing laid backed, yet remarkably manages to pack a heavyweight punch of a scholar in this crowded domain. Now I must get to the point of entry in this comment section. Firstly thank goodness for the Lamborghini Contach you own which I'm sure can be the wield of a dangerous drive if pushed without the required skill. Seeing you put the Jenson into manual pressing the accelerator to unleash power that had you grappling with the steering wheel visibly shocked, mildly disorientated, calling on all your supercar experience to make sense of the humongous beastly delivery pushing to a short-lengthed horizon was priceless and forgive me had me bellowing with laughter as your comments thereafter clearly denoted a sense of relief and suggestions how refinements might be integrated into this otherwise pleasant to look at package added further entertainment. You're a gentleman and probably the best automotive reviewer on TH-cam.
Haven't seen Harry so animated in quite a while!
Rostyle wheels have stood the test of time pretty well. Dinky did an expensive model FF back in the day.
First saw a Jensen Interceptor in the late 1970s. The first thing I go noticed was that the back seat looked
somewhat like a booth you'd sit in in a restaurant. The car was so cool looking. Nothing else on the road
looked like it at the time. I
This FFR is one beautiful car! And has the performance to match. 😊
What a cool car! I loved my SP. probably one of the coolest cars ever. Like you said, we remember this first one we saw a Jensen Interceptor. My SP was original, but totally sorted and useable. These new ones feel like a new car, not restored! You will be lucky to find a base FF for 40k. Great video and information. I would think it was difficult to get it all in one video!
Gorgeous Jensen. Have they had a revival of sorts then? What a wonderful car the Jensen Interceptor. Absolutely stylish.
