Here is a brief excerpt taken from the auction description:

The Jensen Interceptor might just be the ultimate 60’s/70’s bruiser: originally fitted with a 6.3-litre Golden Commando V8 engine and an automatic gearbox called the TorqueFlite, the Interceptor – Interceptor! – is as brutal as it is handsome.

Styled by Carrozzeria Touring of Italy, it was handbuilt in the West Midlands between 1966 and 1976 from steel girders by men with names like Bob and Frank and George. Hell, even the rear axle was named after an English city renowned for attracting Russian assassins like flies to honey.

Still not man enough for you? Aside from the sheer joy of a world in which we can buy a car with an engine called Golden Commando, we must point out that Jensen offered a 7.2-litre/440cu/in V8 option, the so-called TNT engine for those of you for whom 383cu/in is too lily-livered.

With a top speed of 135mph and a 0-60mph time of 7.5 seconds; this thing is so macho you fill it with five-star testosterone instead of petrol…
