22-Years-Owned 1974 Jensen Interceptor III

Description

The Jensen Interceptor is a hand-built grand touring car that was styled by Carrozzeria Touring of Italy and produced by Jensen Motors near Birmingham, England, between 1966 and 1976. The Mark III, introduced in 1971, featured GKN alloy wheels and air conditioning as standard options, and it was powered by a Chrysler-sourced 440ci.

This ‘74 example was acquired approximately 22 years ago by the seller, who notes the tires were replaced last year, and an Edelbrock carburetor has been fitted in place of the factory Carter Thermo-Quad. The car is finished in silver over brown leather and features a three-speed automatic transmission, power-assisted disc brakes, Jaeger instrumentation, and an Alpine CD stereo.

This 1974 Jensen Interceptor Mark III is now offered with a Jensen handbook, workshop manuals, a parts catalogue, spare parts, and a clean Oregon title in the seller’s name.
