Auto Erotica: Jensen Interceptor














The Jensen Interceptor is a sporting GT car hand built in the UK between 1966 and 1976. The car broke with Jensen tradition by having a steel body shell instead of glass-reinforced plastic. The saloon version had a distinctive large, curving wrap-around rear window. It was powered by a Chrysler 6276cc which was increased in 1971 to 7212cc making it the most powerful Jensen ever produced. It took most of it's styling cues from a rare Brazilian car manufacturer Brasinca Uirapuru.

Unfortunately, the company was sold in 1988 and then went into receivership in 1993, but it has risen from the ashes with a new owner and model, the Interceptor SX.
