  2. I used to watch these cars being made from my bedroom window! It might be a surprise to some, but the first Volvo P1800s were assembled by Jensen in the same factory. My boss had an Interceptor, and I got to drive it a few times – No radio or sound system required as there was a V8 Orchestra under the bonnet!

  4. My FAVORITE GT car of all time. As a kid in Oklahoma the neighbor's dad had a brown one. I lusted after this car until we moved away.
    Engineer that inspected my boat in Fairhaven, Mass got a 124 from Jay as a gift. We compared notes (500c Abarth, here.) Always good to talk cars and hear normal people have a normal conversation.
    Leno seems like a great guy.

  5. Thank you for the ride in the In the Jensen Interceptor. Glad you mentioned the FF, as the stories about its cornering ability were legendary — until it let go all of a sudden that is!

  7. I sat in a Jensen Interceptor in London UK when I was 9 years old in 73. I remember playing with the radio, turning it on, the telescopic antenna on the right hand side when up and retracted when turned off. The owner was a successful London based solicitor , had the latest must have gadgets of the time eg NIKON F2A camera complete…..top of the range Grundig satellite radio, Revox reel to reel.

  8. Ya its one of those cars i saw as a kid on TV of course. Since i knew it wasent American i figured it had a inline 6 or somthing English but hey its got a v-8 to match its looks. Every car should have that button !!!!

  10. I used to see one of these around St. Louis
    (Clayton), Mo. when I was growing up. Awesome car.
    👍🙂‼️
