Talk:Jensen Interceptor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] "Interceptor " FF
"Jensen were one of the first manufacturers to equip a production car with four-wheel drive, in the shape of the 1967 Interceptor FF (Ferguson Formula). At the time it was hailed as a remarkable development, coming also with anti-lock brakes and traction control."
That is a common misconception. Although the FF shares the majority of its parts with the Interceptor, it was never called or marketed as Interceptor, but as a stand-alone model just by the name FF.

- The article is taking a stab at distinguishing the two, but putting the production totals of the FF on the Interceptor page doesn't help. I think the FF came first, with the Interceptor brought in as a cheaper variant a few years later, like the Bora/Merak. Both articles need minor rework, with the start/end dates rechecked. Also - how many Interceptors were made? 66.77.124.61 01:29, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

- The "FF" drivetrain was in existence already, before the Interceptors came along, but then so was the CV-8 which the rest of the car derives from. The Jenson FF launched in the same year as the two-wheel drive Interceptor.
