We have fresh details on the new Jensen Interceptor which is due to be launched next year. The company appointed to engineer, develop and build the new is CPP Global Holdings, a British group which will finalise the car in Ceventry and will later assemble it at a new production facility in Browns Lane from 2014.
CPP is the same company who acquired Bowler in January 2011, and who are also in the process of finalising the acquisition of Spyker. CPP has around 250 highly skilled automotive specialist technicians
and craftsman and their main speciality is coachbuilding.
The styling of the 2012 Jensen Interceptor was completed by a team of Coventry-based design consultants employed by HSCS, and the car is basically a four-seat grand tourer which is the spiritual successor of the original model built between 1966 and 1976.
Liam Cardiff, director of Healey Sports Cars Switzerland, said that "CPP is
the perfect partner to revive the iconic Jensen Interceptor. With the
Jensen design team integrated into an organisation with much greater
resources and broader expertise, our dream of seeing the Jensen and
Interceptor badges once again adorning the bonnets of beautiful, modern,
British-built GT cars has come closer to reality."
