Jensen Interceptor Diesel
Discussion
I'm thinking about buying a Jensen Interceptor and talking to guy today who mentioned a mate with a Interceptor. He said he uses it a lot and has a diesel nailed into it. There seems a couple of posts with people saying the same.
Are there people who have done this and enjoying loads of reliable good fuel consumption miles out there?
Not one for the purists but a practical Jensen?

Jensen engines are reliable - the Chrysler V8 is a well built unit and is not highly stressed. Ancillaries break, but the engine and gearbox combo are robust. As mentioned above, if the MPG bothers you, do not buy a Jensen, and please don't ruin one.
PS: practical Jensen? I ran mine as a daily for almost two years, and drove it 3000 miles around Europe. Almost any classic car can be practical.

V8 BMW diesel engine is probably more powerful than the original engine - with double the MPG?

Is 12000 is a renegade Jensen better then listening to that lovely burble for 3000 miles a year?
Never.I'd rather 'only' do 500 miles per year in a Jensen than any amount of miles in one that has been ruined by having a hideous soot-chucking tractor engine installed.
I can't even get my head around the mentality of anyone that would think this is a 'good' idea.
