Description
Estimated Price: £28,000 - £32,000
- Styled by Carrozzeria Touring of Milan and hand-built at Jensen's West Bromwich factory, the Interceptor successfully blended European sophistication with dependable American V8 power, creating a uniquely capable and charismatic motor car
- Powered by a 6,276 cc (383 ci) Chrysler E-Series V8 generating 330bhp through a three-speed TorqueFlite automatic
- First registered on 07/08/1970, this desirable second-generation example embodies all the qualities that have made the Interceptor one of Britain's most admired grand touring cars
- Joining our vendor's prominent private Collection in September 2020, the car has clearly been enjoyed and maintained during his stewardship. Seeking to enhance its presentation, he commissioned a professional repaint in its current striking shade of Tangerine, with the works costing in excess of £12,000
- Accompanying the car is a history file documenting its ownership and maintenance history, including invoices from respected Jensen marque specialists Martin Robey and Riverbourne Classics in recent years
- There are also a couple of invoices from Castec Motor Services for a new starter motor, battery, and ignition system overhaul totalling just over £3,000
- With values of restored Interceptors continuing to reflect the significant costs associated with specialist bodywork, paint and mechanical refurbishment, this Series II represents an attractive opportunity to acquire a well presented, UK-supplied example from long-term collector ownership
