Description
- 650bhp LT4 Supercharged 6.2L V8 with 8-speed automatic - £300,000+ JIA commission (excluding donor car) - Only 1,200 miles since full nut-and-bolt restomod - Deep metallic red with cream/red quilted interior - AP Racing brakes, optional anti-roll bars, 17” alloy wheels - Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth, touchscreen audio - Heated screen & mirrors, electric seats, air conditioning - Turned aluminium centre console, reverse camera, LED headlamp upgrade available - Build time of 16–20 months — exceptional craftsmanship throughout A rare opportunity to acquire one of the finest British restomods ever produced. This 1972 Jensen Interceptor has been completely reimagined and meticulously rebuilt by the world-renowned Jensen International Automotive (JIA) — the leading authority in transforming these classic grand tourers into high-performance, thoroughly modern machines. Each JIA Interceptor is a true coach-built commission, taking between 16 and 20 months to complete, with an approximate cost of £300,000 plus the donor car. The attention to detail, engineering precision, and bespoke craftsmanship are second to none. The result is not merely a restored classic, but a car that outperforms many contemporary luxury GTs while retaining every ounce of the Interceptor’s timeless charm. Under the bonnet lies a formidable 6.2-litre LT4 supercharged V8, sourced from the latest Corvette Z06. Delivering a staggering 650bhp through a 8-speed automatic gearbox, the performance is nothing short of explosive — yet completely tractable thanks to modern electronics and JIA’s exceptional chassis engineering. Optional front and rear anti-roll bars ensure impressive composure, while AP Racing brakes provide immense stopping power to match the pace. Externally, the Interceptor remains as elegant as ever, finished in a rich, deep metallic red that catches the light beautifully. Subtle enhancements include 17” cast alloy wheels, double dip halogen headlamps (with an optional LED upgrade), and a reversing camera discreetly integrated for day-to-day usability. Inside, this car is nothing short of spectacular. The cabin is trimmed in cream leather with red diamond-quilted detailing, hand-stitched to perfection. A turned aluminium centre console brings a modern twist to classic British luxury. Comfort and convenience are prioritised with electric seats, heated windscreen and mirrors, air conditioning, and a state-of-the-art touchscreen infotainment system featuring Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth, and crystal-clear audio. Having covered just 1,200 miles since its full JIA transformation, this example presents in near-new condition and offers an incredibly rare opportunity to own one of the most desirable and capable classic restomods on the market today. This is more than a car — it’s a work of art. A celebration of British design, American muscle, and modern engineering, built without compromise for the most discerning collector or enthusiast.
