    I didn’t thing there was one – are you not thinking of Roger Moore in the Saint? that wasn’t an Interceptor either but the Volvo he drove was built by Jensen.

    I’m 99% sure there was never an Interceptor in a Bond film.

    Astons, Lotus (Loti?), Fords (thank you product placement)

    I don’t recall a Jenson in a Bond film either.

    Possibly getting confused with a 1969 Aston Martin DBS Vantage from “On her Majesty’s Secret Service.” and as used by Roger Moor in the Persuaders.

    They do look similar from the front.

    I saw a Bond Bug in Chingford a couple of weeks ago!

    I don’t think that pretty young lady was in it though.

    Well, even if she was, at best, she was probably not two of those 3

    I rolled in one whilst hitch hiking on the M1 c 1972. 9 stitches in the head and my first ever night in Northampton (General Hospital). Death traps.

    And in a rather circular way, the Bond Bug designer also designed the chopper and in fact the car type thing in that luke skywalker drove / flew in star wars was also designed by the same guy (Ian Ogle, maybe not ‘Ian’) and built on a Bond Bug frame.

    an early bond car, the minicar had a motorcycle engine, unmodified in the front. Most of the engine bay was space

    There was a Jensen Interceptor used in one of the Saint series.

    Started in a Volvo p1800, then a white xjs v12, and in 89, a blue Jensen.

    I had one of the first models. Engine (197cc Villiers) turned with the front wheel, no rear suspension, weighed about 350lbs. Had to carry a pocket full of corks because I kept burning the clutch out on steep hills. Solved the problem by getting a sturdier g/f for pushstarts.

    Rolled it. It caught fire. I made quick exit. End of Bond.

    It was fun but a right heap of shite.

    Yup. Clutch plate had pressed in corks for friction material. Quite common on British motorbikes of the time.

    That would be Tom Karen, who also designed the Reliant Scimitar.

    I remember some bloke jumping a jensen off a ramp into a pile of cars in some old Noel Edmonds show. As you would expect the front went down like a sack of spuds and it flipped right over.
