Thrills From The Flipside: 10 Great European Restomods

Jensen Interceptor

Years produced: 1966-1976

I’ve talked about the Jensen Interceptor before, and I make no apologies for that. It’s the British answer to a muscle car packed inside an incredible Italian-designed body. Maybe you fancy an Interceptor with a little more oomph? Enter the Jensen International Automotive Interceptor R. Rebuilt from the shell upwards by the company’s mechanics in Oxfordshire, under the hood you’ll find a supercharged LSA, outputting 556 horsepower and 551 lb/ft torque.

The engine is marshaled by a GM four-speed automatic transmission, which is quite happy to both terrify and acquiesce. You can do 70 at 1800 rpm, or rip it up to a roaring 6000+ whenever it takes your fancy. You’ll be tearing up to 60 in just 3.8 seconds. In a 1970s GT. Yep. The top speed sits at 174 mph, and the price is just as sky-high, at around $240,000 at time of writing. This isn’t a cheap car, but it’s got so much character, and that’s what we’re here for.
