I was once on a road trip in my little Triumph GT6 and came up behind an Interceptor on a lovely twisting hilly section of highway. Someone had put a high-compression head on the GT and spent a lot of time on the details, I put a Toyota 5 speed in, the car was (and is) a dream to drive. I attempted to keep up with the Jensen and was astonished that I couldn't. We were both going for a ferry, and in the lot I spoke with the owner and learned about this wonderful car. The owner was gracious enough to compliment me on "keeping up". A wonderful memory of a great road trip.

I had a 1973 Jensen SP with the 7.2 L engine and the six pack carburettor. It was beautiful to drive and I took it on a regular basis from Suffolk to the North of Scotland. In those days the A9 did not have average speed limits so on some stretches I could let it rip up to 120! I wish I did no have to sell it!

We should mention that the FF had a longer wheel base to accommodate the added equipment. This is seen in the extended front guard (wing in UK speak) behind the front wheel arch. This was disguised with the double vertical vents.. These masterpieces were a perfect homologation of British finesse and American muscle.. Cheers from Aussie..

I remember as a young lad, my father and his business partner John, had a big whisky bottle full of coins and notes in their office, with “buy Malc and John a Jensen Fund” written on it. Sadly neither of them ever got one, dad had a Scimitar SE5a GTE at the time and John had a 240 Mercedes.

The home office around 1969 commissioned a fleet of Ford Mk 4 Zephyrs with the same four wheel drive system with anti lock brakes as per the Jensen. Under the bonnet there was a counter that recorded the number of times the anti lock braking system operated. They were sent out to various Police Forces for evaluation. I was a member of Lancashire police H.Q.Traffic Patrol at the time. When two officers from another traffic group showed me around one. I was suitably impressed by far to low down the pecking order to have a go. I was only in my early 20's.

I’m Australian but about 20 years ago I noticed it both featured and offered for sale, in a UK Classic Cars magazine, with impressively low miles and for a surprisingly low (bargain) price - especially for its unique spec.

The 383 cu inch 6.3 was known as the G series , the later 440 inch , essentially a de tuned Dodge Charger unit was known as the J series , although of larger capacity had a lower compression ration , designed to run on 2 star fuel in its day . The smaller engine was fitted to Mk1 and Mk 2 Jensen Interceptor models and a small number of Mk3 models before the larger low emission model became standard. The earlier engine was known to pick up revs slightly quicker than the 7.2 . Either way , it’s easy performance with the Jensen , huge torque at low revs matched to the wonderful torque flight auto box, 30 - 50 mph in 2.3 seconds says it all. Wonderful car

The FF used a 383 Golden Commando spec motor. A few of the very early Mk3 440s had 4BBL engines that weren't de tuned! Very nice those! Later on the SP came with the most powerful 440 ever fitted to a Jensen. Along with the Hemi that was the most powerful muscle car engine ever supplied in a Chrysler muscle car, and went into the Jensen "as is". All Jensen needed to do was put a small dent in the air cleaner for bonnet clearance!

Arrrrh, what? The Chrysler 'big blocks' are the "B" and "Raised B" ( often written as "B/RB" ) for the B-series V8 and the Raised Deck Height version. The 170ci Slant Six is the "G" block, and the 255 and later 198 the "Raised G".

I pulled out the book and wrote the check..Done. We put 145000 miles on that TC in 3 years..After they made good on a replacement transmission and engine in the first 25ooo miles, all was golden with that car. It ran an honest 126 MPH flat on, and 0 to 60 in 7.3 seconds..I did do a bit of tuning to it to make it move better..Brakes were the hardest to tune..required larger wheels and a host of suspension mods.

Very nice. One of my favourite colour combinations for an FF. Shame it is up for sale, but hope the owner gets to enjoy it for a weekend and they might just change their mind! We have owned 10 FFs over the years, but never an Interceptor. Always maintained them ourselves. Parts have not been a major problem. The FF's double wishbone front suspension and disk brakes are well designed, effective, reliable, easy to service. Jensen designed a beautiful removable cradle, a sub frame that houses the engine, front diff and lower wishbone. I think the access and maintenance is easier on the FF than the Interceptor because of that front end. The only tricky job is removing that driver's side exhaust manifold. The manifolds glow red in use after spirited driving and almost stress relieve themselves to the particular car and can last decades without blowing once they are on properly because they don't use or need a gasket. I would be tempted to leave them on the car if you are not yet sure abut keeping it.

These were a common sight in Houston, Texas during the 70s and 80s, usually seen in the better part of the city. They were eye-catchers then, just as they're eye-catchers today. Considered to be far more reliable than Ferrari, it seemed they had problems with overheating in hot Texas summers. The Jensen FF was always driven by men, whereas the Jensen convertibles were usually driven by women (* a teenage boy's observation during that time.).

The reason why ABS on planes is so good is that you can press the brake pedal fully as soon as you contact the ground on landing. If you have to use threshold braking, you might waste many meters of runway before you achieve optimal braking force. It also prevents flat spots on the tires and therefore increases tire life.

Fantastic car! Jensen’s are the business with Sophia & Jackie in this car with Agnelli, I really wish the Jensen could talk and reveal all…
