There have been several british car Marques over the years featuring american muscle under the bonnet - most of them now long defunct; names like Railton, Atalanta, Allard and Bristol spring to mind. In recent years there has been a trend of reviving these lost names with a 'new exciting' model; most, if not all, have been quietly sunk without trace.
Jensens attempt with the S-V8 was a stylistic insult to the glory years of the Interceptor....
"Continuation" models are generally more successful emphasising the belief that modern car design has become so constrained by safety and pollution legislation that the highlights of style peaked back in the last century.
Jensen International will now build you (for a price!) a 'new' Interceptor complete with Chevy LS3 or LT4 V8 retaining the form but bringing the engineering up to date...
Personally I think I'd prefer the original with all it's limitations and foibles. The total package made a statement of its era.
