In the mid 60's my fathers boss had a Jensen Interceptor, one of the few in Northern Ireland, I imagine. It was the bees-knees and any time I got a spin in it I was made up.
Recently I saw a Top Gear programme on Discovery about the old Interceptor. Shock-Horror, it was made of bits from the parts bin and cheap accessories from Morris and Triumph and when bodywork was out a bit a panel beater was sent for. Another childhood dream shattered. I think I'll become an oul cynic.
