Never as well-known as the Aston-Martin, and lacking a James Bond connection (although it did serve Simon Templar in The Saint), the Jensen was nevertheless a strikingly handsome and agile British (for a time it was built in Scotland) grand touring car. The Interceptor was powered by a Chrysler V-8, and some models featured an early adaptation of four-wheel drive to GT use.
