‘The Interceptor, Birmingham’s only supercar, has a halo of mischief that none of our other choices possesses’

For me, choosing our ultimate Smart Buy is easy – it’s the Jensen. This is a classic that ticks every box and then some. Heave, beauty, heritage, image, attitude and enormous potential. With so many other Sixties and Seventies supercars going into orbit the Interceptor is bound to rise in sympathy. But money and investment prospects apart, the Interceptor is a sensationally wonderful car to own, drive and look at. But best of all it has a halo of mischief that none of our other choices possesses. The reason why it’s flatlined for so long is because we thought it didn’t have enough panache and breeding. I think the Interceptor’s colourful, raffish roots are a major part of its appeal. I’d have one in a heartbeat.
