JI004  -  Regal Red Jensen Interceptor Series I

                                                                                                  1:43 Scale

Followers of 60s and 70s classic cars will want to add this new 1:43 scale Grand Tourer to your collection of sporting vehicles, particularly if your line-up already includes the three Oxford Interceptor releases so far on this much-requested car of the age.
The Jensen Interceptor was one of the company's powerful GT-class cars, all hand-built at their West Bromwich plant between 1966 and 1976. It was a departure from the norm, having a steel body shell rather than the glass fibre body of previous Jensen cars. Also, Jensen commissioned an Italian company Carrozzeria Touring to design the stylish body, which gave it a large curved 'wrap around' rear window, unique to the Interceptor and instantly recognisable on the road. Luxurious features included power steering (from 1968), electric windows, reclining front seats, radio with twin speakers, reversing lights, an electric clock and electric windows. Things we all take for granted when buying a car today! The Mk 1 was the only version to have an optional manual gearbox although only 22 were made with this feature. Manufacture of the Mk I was superseded in 1969 by the Mk II, along with the Mk. III, which Jensen introduced in real life in 1971. Both are part of our 1:43rd model series.
