Jensen Interceptor at Browns Lane

Here's a preview (from WhatCar.com) of the new car to be built at Browns Lane. http://www.whatcar.com/car-news/new-jensen-interceptor-unveiled/259237?utm_source=Silverpop&utm_medium=EMAIL&utm_campaign=What%20Car%20Email%20Newsletter%20230911%20(1)&utm_content=jensen_interceptor It's good to think that quality motor cars will once again be built in Coventry.

First Jensen Interceptor I ever saw in the flesh was in Coventry in 1967. Was crossing the Kenilworth Road at the junction with the Kenpass and Fletchampstead Highways at the time. Had only just read about the car in the Observer colour supplement. It was so rare and exotic I didn't think I'd ever see one around here. It looked even more exotic in real life than anything I'd anticipated. It was incredibly futuristic for the period, like something out of a Gerry Anderson TV series.
