The Jensen Interceptor, quite possibly the coolest name for a car, ever, is to me the epitome of 1970s high end driving. There’s nothing more 70s than playing the latest tunes on your 8-track, and with Cliff Richard being a fan of the car it’s not hard to imagine him blasting down the M1, music blaring out of the windows. Jensen Motors was much more than the Interceptor. It’s a car that foreshadowed the Audi Quattro by 15 years and set a world record that stood for over 30 years.
