Jensen Interceptor reborn

CPP, a British specialist automotive group, will finalise the new car's development in Coventry and manufacture it at a new production facility from 2014.  A team of Coventry-based design consultants employed by HSCS has completed the design of the new Interceptor, which has already attracted significant customer interest.

The new Jensen Interceptor - echoing the layout of the original much-loved four-seat grand tourer built between 1966 and 1976 - is based on an all-new aluminium chassis and handcrafted aluminium body.

The public unveiling of the new Interceptor is planned for late next year, with deliveries to customers beginning in 2014.  Annual production numbers and pricing are yet to be confirmed, but these will be fixed to ensure ultra-exclusivity, CPP Global Holdings said.  Expressions of interest can be registered on the website www.jensensportscars.com.

CPP's founder and co-owner Brendan O'Toole said the design team had respected and honoured the great heritage and attributes of the original Interceptor, while injecting a contemporary edge and advanced technologies to ensure that it appealed to passionate, discerning motoring enthusiasts.

Healey Sports Cars Switzerland director Liam Cardiff said that with the Jensen design team integrated into an organisation with much greater resources and broader expertise, the dream of seeing the Jensen and Interceptor badges once again adorning the bonnets of beautiful, modern, British-built GT cars had come closer to reality.

HSCS owns all assets, intellectual property, designs and brand rights for the Jensen and Interceptor brands.
