Fabboceptor


It is not often one gets to drive something a little different.

It is not often these days that one gets to mix it with other petrolheads in similar machinery.

So an invite to share the driving of a 1970 Jensen Interceptor could not be refused.

A trip by train from home to a North London address found me wafting down the A40 in sumptuous comfort and amusing myself with the varying meaty burbling sounds emitted by the 335bhp of the 6 litre engine in front of me. We drove in loose formation with a Lotus Europa belonging to the same gentleman to a spot near Stokenchurch Mast, before enjoying a fine lunch with 22 attendees driving vehicles as different as a Daimler V8-250 (Insp Morse style), a variety of Porsches, an Alfa Romeo and a rather more modern Mazda MX5.

It is amazing how easily one can be transported back 40 years.
