Description
Touring of Milan, a leading light in automotive coachwork development and design was invited to produce the new Interceptor and, in 1966, it was unveiled at the London Motor Show.
Vignale built the body in the early years but it soon came in-house to the coach builders at West Bromwich, Birmingham.
With Chrysler’s 6.276cc, V8 engine up front and connected to a super-smooth automatic gearbox, it quickly became the must-have motorcar amongst the cognoscente.
At the same time, a four-wheel drive version was offered, the FF.
Developed by the Harry Ferguson Research Company, it also came with Dunlop Maxaret anti-lock brakes with leather upholstery, reclining front seats and walnut veneer as standard features.
‘The Motor’ recorded a top speed of 140mph with 100mph arriving in 19 seconds, impressive when driving in four wheel drive luxury.
It is entirely appropriate that the striking design of a Jensen Interceptor should be complemented by an equally striking colour scheme.
