6.3 V8 Big block chrysler engine, fitted to some dodge chargers aswell. but the sound from it is worth every penny

Isn't there an interceptor with around 7.2 litres?  :-/
And the Daddy must surely be the FF.
It's pity the fuel crissis of the 70's killed quite a few of the big gas guzzlers off.

yeah there was a 7.2 aswell, the FF was just a 4wd version of the interceptor, adding more problems to the car.

Not quite just  :-? The front end  was differenter/long, there are 2 vents in each wing, rather than just one in yours. Still .... I wouldn't mind the chance to have the problems ..... could't be worse than the electrickery problems of an Omega

front end was different cos they stopped making them in the mk 1's mine is a mk2, the vents dont serve much purpose, the main problems were down to overheating, the radiator isnt much bigger than the miggy's

Qute advanced for their time. I think I'm right in saying they were the first to play with ABS on a car .... it didn't work too well ..... but they tried!

i thought it was mercedes who was first to bring out abs

BMW 1st brought out an electronic ABS in the early 80's but the Jensen's was a belt driven set up, similar I believe to the NON electric version offered on early MkIII Escorts & Orions ..... that wasn't very good either.

Cut my fleet too, down to Jag, clitSport 182, Jeep, Veccy 2.6, and Pug 406HDI...

For the first time in 4 years i had no miggy ( weighed two in with a 4 series Rover  and bought the tourer 4 days later  )

Might very well have. I thought it was BMW, however Jensen definately beat them both on the Interceptor. I think there's perhaps confusion between the fully electrickery type on later cars and the belts & braces type on the Interceptor.

very possibly!!!! maybe that there claim is as you say for the fully electric variant

ok ill set the record str8, jensen was the first to utilise the abs system, not invent it. remember jensen was a heinz 57 made from parts from different cars. only the body design was unique lol. kinda spoils the romance i know.
