1952 Jensen Interceptor DHC Max

 

  "This is a rare one. Jensen made 88 cars of this model over an eight year period. They made one with a Briggs Cunningham Chrysler hemi V8 for a special order. The engine was de-tuned to 275 h.p. for street use before being shipped from Palm Beach to the Jensen plant for installation. The car is in an unrestored original condition and is in lovely shape. Top speed was estimated by the factory at 140+ mph. There is a nice patina of age to the red leather and the hemi has that throaty burble sound that only a hemi can produce. A Laycock deNormanville overdrive was also fitted and the car is a screamer whether at stop lights or at the top end. One off cars don't come up that often, and I've owned this one since 1987."
