Model overview
Model description
Jensen lived a relatively long life comparatively under the radar. In addition to a line of bespoke GTs like the 541R and the CV8, Jensen built bodies for companies as diverse as Volvo and Sunbeam. By the mid-1960s, the CV8 had run its course and Jensen turned to Vignale of Italy to style its successor. The result was an undeniably handsome car from most angles that some feel is a bit let down by a huge fish bowl-like glass hatchback.
Powered at first by a Chrysler 383 and later by a 440 V8. Earlier 383 cars with fewer emission controls are quite a bit faster than the 440 cars. All came fully equipped with amenities like automatic transmission, 8-track player, air conditioning, lamb’s wool seat inserts, polished walnut dash, Connolly leat and head rest pillows. All Interceptors were well-built and expensive, built for crossing Europe at high speeds. Rear seating is not horrible for a sporting car. Fuel economy, however, was dismal and this eventually spelled the car’s end in 1976. Mechanical parts are NAPA close and most of the other necessary bits can be easily sourced through a network of specialists. The FF is the ultra-rare, UK-only, all wheel-drive version that was among the first cars to sport anti-lock brakes.

Many factors can increase a car's value including excellent condition, exceptional originality, a recent restoration, low mileage, unique provenance, desirable options, popular or unique color choices, and excellent maintenance records. Upgrades and modifications that enhance performance or aesthetics can also add value.
Factors that can decrease a car's value include unusually high mileage, poor maintenance history, visible wear and tear, accidents or damage, title issues, and gaps in ownership history. Additionally, less popular color choices and extensive modifications that don't appeal to a broad audience can reduce value.
Mileage plays a significant role in a classic car’s value. Lower mileage usually increases value because it indicates a higher degree of originality, is rarer, and suggests less wear and tear. However, cars with exceptionally low mileage may also have maintenance needs due to lack of use. Whether someone should pay more for a vehicle with lower miles will depend on how they plan on using it, and the vehicle's specific condition.
The value of modified cars differs widely based on the type and quality of modifications. While some modifications can significantly increase value, especially performance enhancements and high-quality custom work, others may not add much or could even detract from the car’s value if they appeal to only a limited audience.
