Jensen has been a name in the UK's automotive industry for around 80 years, most well known for the production of highly distinctive GT cars. Perhaps the most iconic of these was the Jensen Interceptor which was originally built from 1966 until the company ceased trading in 1976. There was even an advanced 4WD version called the FF, which was only made in small numbers.
Over the following years, after various changes of ownership and limited car building, Jensen International Automotive (JIA) was formed in 2010, with a majority shareholding from the succesful and highly respected entrepreneur, Sir Charles Dunstone. Since then, the company has made a name for itself by producing the Jensen Interceptor R, which is basically a 'new' and thoroughly updated version of the original GT car. Based in Banbury, Oxfordshire, the company now offers a range of Interceptors in four distinct models, R Supercharged, R,S and of course the legendary four wheel drive version, the FF R.
In 2017 JIA launched the Range Rover Chieftan, which was a serious re-engineering and re-design of the Classic Range Rover. The company also offers restoration work for existing Interceptor owners, together with a wide range of bespoke work on their current Interceptors and other makes, including their Range Rover. JIA has exciting plans to launch the Jensen interceptor GTX, their first clean-sheet design, in 2026.
