R.I.P Jensen
        "Jensen, the tiny British sports car maker, has folded.  The 
    company has struggled for some time and recently hopes were raised 
    by rumors the firm might build the IAD-designed Magia coupe."
        "Jensen is best remembered for the big Chrysler V8-powered 
    Interceptor coupe and the FF derivative of that car which 
    introduced four-wheel-drive and ABS to the market in 1967, a full
    15 years before Audi managed the same trick with the original Quattro."


For those interested in getting a Jensen Interceptor, I recently saw one 
for sale at San Jose British Motors, 404 Stevens Creek Bl, (408) 246-7600.
It was parked somewhere between a V12 E-type and a Texas made Jaguar 
Sovereign Stretch Limo.
