1998: Creative Group, automotive engineering & design consultants, held the Jensen name and a prototype Jensen S-V8 was shown at the London Motor Show in moves to revive the marque. Sadly, this development failed ~2002.

2010: 'Jensen International Automotive Ltd.' (JIA) of Thame, Oxfordshire, was formed "to develop the Jensen Interceptor S" (and later the 'R'), a "re-engineered" olde Interceptor with a 6.2-litre GM V8. (JIA seemed to be still operating in 2023.)

2011, September: CPP Global Holdings announced that it was to build an all new "Jensen" Interceptor in Coventry (at an ex-Jaguar site, Browns Lane) for Healey Sports Cars Switzerland Ltd. (HSCS), starting 2012 for sale in 2014. CPP (Coventry Prototype Panels) owns Bowler, the maker of hard-core off-roaders, and builds aluminium chassis for Spyker sports cars; Bowler was bought by Jaguar Land-Rover in 2019. (As of 2023 this new Jensen seems to be not-heard-of since about 2015.)
