Fans of oddball cars rarely get much gratification from mainstream Hollywood films. A TVR Tuscan Speed Six in 2001’s fairly forgettable Halle Berry, Hugh Jackman, John Travolta actioner Swordfish is about all that comes to mind recently. For the most part, the Fast & Furious series](http://www.autoblog.com/tag/fast+furious|fast+and+furious|/) has followed the formula of serving up familiar cars from the US and Japan. Until now that is. The sixth installment, which set records at the box office this past Memorial Day weekend, features a few notable eccentricities, including a 1978 Ford Mark I Escort, an LS7-powered Lister and everybody’s favorite tough chick, Letty Ortiz (Michelle Rodriguez), driving a Jensen Interceptor of all things.
The few sites out there that cater to the fishbowl-backed, Mopar-powered British coupe probably can’t handle the traffic they got this past weekend, so to save their servers, we’ll give you a bit of information on the Interceptor. In full disclosure, I’m an owner of a '73 Interceptor that several of my colleagues infamously drove from Arizona to St. Louis in a trouble-plagued delivery run/magazine story.
