The Jensen Interceptor
Jensen Motors built the Interceptor at its Kelvin Way factory in West Bromwich from 1966 to 1976, producing 6,408 cars. The body was designed by Carrozzeria Touring of Italy, and the earliest shells were built by Vignale before Jensen took production in-house, returning to steel after years of glass-fibre bodies. Power came from Chrysler V8s: a 383 cubic inch unit until 1971 and the 7.2 litre 440 from 1971 to 1976. The Mark II arrived in October 1969, and the Mark III followed in 1971. A convertible was introduced in 1974 and a small run of coupes in 1975.
The four-wheel-drive Jensen FF of 1967 used the Ferguson Formula system and Dunlop Maxaret anti-lock brakes, technology that was remarkable for a road car of its time. Only 320 were built.
Which Makers Produce Jensen Models
Cult Scale has produced the Interceptor in 1:18 resin, covering both the original Mark I of 1966 and the later Mark III in several period colours. Cult Scale belongs to the same Dutch group as Matrix Scale Models, which has modelled the Jensen GT of the mid-1970s in 1:43 resin. Oxford Diecast makes the Interceptor in 1:43 diecast, with Mark I and Mark II versions, a more affordable way to start a collection of British classics.
Resin or Diecast, 1:18 or 1:43
Resin models such as Cult Scale's are sealed, with no opening parts, and focus on accurate body shape, chrome trim and interior detail. 1:43 diecast models are compact and ideal for building a larger display. Our scale guide explains how the scales compare in size.
