I was of the impression the Jensen Interceptor FF was the first car to use
this differential and it hit the market a decade earlier than the Eagle...

Of course, they didn't sell but 50 or 60 of them whereas the Eagle sold in
the thousands so maybe the word "production" doesn't really apply.  It was
also the first production car to have ABS...

I had a chance to briefly drive one a few years ago ... it was big, heavy,
and quintessentially British, which I found disorienting given the torque
that big Chrysler V8 produced.  It certainly wasn't an MGB!    :^)
