The Bespoke
vehicle manufacturer
Use JIA
JIA are a bespoke vehicle manufacturer, widely recognised for our Jensen Interceptor R and, more recently, for the Chieftain.
Our objective is to blend the pleasure of driving a truly beautiful classic car with the reliability of a modern car and the performance of a modern supercar. All our cars are based on original classic car icons, thoroughly re-engineered and renewed to deliver that “new car” feel whilst remaining faithful to the essence of the original model.
We are also able to apply our rigorous standards to restorations of original Jensens and we do offer substantial upgrade packages for customers who may already own a good original car.
Interceptor R Supercharged
JIA’s signature Interceptor, a fully bespoke build to your specification featuring top quality paint finishes, finest Scottish leather throughout and Wilton carpets.
Attention to detail is paramount and the classic Interceptor cabin is enhanced with luxurious quilting, modern ICE, electric seats and even heated windscreen for fast defrosting.
Mechanical improvements include the installation of bespoke re-engineered suspension, ABS brakes and steering for vastly superior handling, comfort and safety and culminate with the installation of an all new aluminium 6.2 litre Supercharged V8 delivering 560 bhp via an intelligent 6 speed automatic transmission with traction control to provide both spectacular performance, relaxed high speed cruising and modern levels of reliability.
01. A fully rebuilt Interceptor painstakingly restored
Restored from the ground up, no part is left untouched.
Bespoke interior and exterior parts set the “R” apart from other Interceptors but only hint at the extraordinary level of re-engineering which lie beneath
02. Modernised and fully updated
Fully updated mechanicals, modern electrics, bespoke trim and paint, whether rear wheel drive or based around the iconic FF for AWD, the Interceptor R Supercharged blends classic looks with supercar performance and a level of comfort never achieved in an original Jensen.
03. The ultimate Interceptor
A car hand crafted to your specification, that will not just surprise and delight but will positively command respect and appreciation. Reliable enough to use every day, rare enough to stand out but also a car which brings out the best in other road users, each journey in the Interceptor R is a pleasure to savour in every way.
01. Your own car or supplied with our help
Starting with a good original car, either your own or supplied with our help, the Interceptor S retains the existing trim, paint and accessories but shares the highly successful suspension.
02. Independent suspension, uprated brakes, manual or auto
Utilising the same suspension upgrades as on the R Supercharged married to the 430bhp normally aspirated version of the 6.2 litre V8 driving through either 6 speed manual or 6 speed automatic transmission.
03. Performance, safety and reliability
Performance, safety and reliability are dramatically improved whilst still retaining the value and charm of the original or previously restored car. Passion in our build comes for free.

Range Rover Chieftain
Following the development of the original VELAR badged prototypes, complete with rubber floor mats and world-class off-road capability, there can be no doubt that the SUV genre has broadened it’s fan-base and, leading the charge pretty much all the way, has been that most British of vehicles, the Range Rover.
right from the outset
serious sums from collectors
needs care and attention
overhaul of the interior
Much as we have done with the Interceptor the feel of the original design has been carefully retained but materials are luxurious throughout and mod cons like in built sat nav sit comfortably alongside bespoke switchgear such as would grace any modern yacht or supercar.

it’s time for a brand new era
