I think these cars are so cool. Didn't expect to see one in Calgary, let alone at this time of year.

Hmmm how much to import one of these?

I'd 2JZ that fucker.

Or LS1 if I had the balls. :bigpimp:

I spotted this and had no idea wtf it was.

I originally thought that it was some sort of Aston Martin, but when I went past it I new it wasn't.

Pretty cool machine.

Cool. I think they might be AWD and powered by a 440 big block. No need to change to an LS1 or 2JZ

I think the interiors are a work of art. Love these cars.

Is that not a Jensen FF?

EDIT: Looking at the front plate, I guess I'm right. FF's are AWD while Interceptors are RWD.

Do an LS2, or three, only a bit more money and a way better engine HP/TQ wise.
:thumbsup:
Or even an LS7 if you had the coin, that would be epic.

Yeah I thought about that before I posted. Aesthetically they're pretty much the same car, so I assumed the FF was the AWD interceptor. More like a trim line, than a different model.

And anyone who doesn't know what this car is, doesn't watch Top Gear haha.

I actually know what it was when I first saw that Top Gear episode because when I was about 4 or 5 before moving here, we lived in Ponoka (idk why, that's where my parents decided to stay after first coming to Canada), in a farmers field under a tree there were 2 old derelict cars in somewhat bad shape - not crashed just 'stored' there, my friend and I used to go through this field and play in the cars as kids usually do in a small hick farming town.

One day I brought my dad there for whatever reason, turns out one was a Jensen Interceptor and the other was a Sunbeam Tiger both just in this central AB field under a tree, rotting away. I wonder if they're still there today.
