British bodies and American engines...the best thing ever invented since marmade! (Actually marmade is rather distasteful stuff at first but I digress.) That's what gave us the Cobra for one! The FF was the 4 wheel drive version of the Interceptor right?

Anyways, a bit of trivia here. Did you know that in the 1930s the Jensen brothers who were already making a name for themselves rebodying Austin Sevens and similar cars and started building what could be the first Anglo-American hybrid? They used to build a car powered by Henry's own flathead V8 which they reworked for more power with their own cylinder heads and multiple-carburation. The car had essentially 8 forward speeds (4 speed trans and a dual ratio rear end in the fashion of Packard)....and beautiful coachwork to boot!
