Jensen Interceptor 1950

The Jensen Interceptor started life by agreement between Richard Jensen and Leonard Lord and was based on an Austin 4-litre engine and other components. It was said that Jensen's own PW saloon was plagiarised by Austin for their Sheerline saloon, and when Jensen threatened legal action Leonard Lord proposed the supply of Austin components to Jensen. Jensen was also asked to design and build the Austin A40 Sports which can be seen as a smaller version of the Interceptor. This arrangement was repeated later when Jensen were asked to build the Austin-Healey 100. Eric Neale designed the bodywork, and a 3993cc six cylinder Austin engine powered the Interceptor, and the chassis was based on the Austin A70. The Interceptor was built until superseded by the 541 in 1957 and 88 were built.
