The crew at V-eight have updated their Jensen Interceptor with a more modern appointements. The heart is the all aluminum GM LS2.
In addition to the new powerpalnt, this British sports car gets 6 piston AP racing brakes. Taking classic rides, restoring them, and updating them to the amenities and safety of today, is not a new idea. Retro-rod '67 Mustangs and '69 Camaros, I get it. This Jensen Interceptor, I don't get. Must be a British thing, kind of like Cricket.
