The Jensen Interceptor has earned its place among British cars that were unique, quirky, stylish, fun to drive, and short-lived. Jensen Motors built the Italian-styled grand tourers between 1966 and 1976 near Birmingham. Italian design house Carrozzeria Touring of Milan – in particular, designer Federico Formenti – gets credit for styling the original Interceptor with its loooong hood that suggests it was inspired by the runaway popularity of the Jaguar E-Type.
