The Jensen Owners' Club

What is there to explain? The P66 was the proposed successor to the CV8, to be named the Interceptor. Two prototypes were made, a coupe and a convertible. The coupe survived and is for sale. Dion, I need to correct you. The P66 was not intended to replace the CV8, this is a general misconception. I...

That’s a German customs plate (Z = abbreviation for ‘Zoll’ - customs in German). Possibly a temporary import?

No photo I’m afraid, but just saw a black Interceptor, 42 LOF in Weymouth. The rear badge had been modified to say ‘Interceptor GS’ And it had four individual, round taillights either side instead of the standard ones.

The original design did indeed have the headlight covers. As a result of bad press for the similar covers on the recently introduced E-type (crazing, steaming up), the Jensen brothers decided to delete them at the last minute, too late to allow any tooling changes, much to my Dad’s disappointment.

Having been away over Christmas, we have just got back to learn this very sad news. We can only echo everything that has already been said, Thelma will be sorely missed. Heartfelt condolences to Ron.

Hi Felix,

Count Jackie and me in too - sorry for the late response.

There is a strong chance that this was styled by Eric Neale, the designer of the 541 and C-V8, as his first major car design. He joined Singer in 1931, and was responsible for the Nine Sports 1933 range. You are right Stephen, my Dad did design the Singer 9 Le Mans (although I always thought it was...
