The Interceptor was the successor to the C-V8. This was the third evolution of the Interceptor. The convertible came only a few years before the end of Jensen, so it wasn't built very often. Contraty to earlier models, this one was planned from the beginning for the US-market and therefore mostly built as LHD model.
