DESCRIPTION
First shown in London at the October 1966 Earls Court Motor Show, the Interceptor had a model life of three years, being superseded in October 1969 by the Interceptor II. With only 1,024 built, of which this is one of only 923 right hand drive automatics, this is a rare opportunity to acquire an iconic Jensen Interceptor Mk 1.
Jensen started as a coach building firm in the early 1930s. After a period building commercial vehicles and saloons, the company started producing sports cars. The Interceptor has become one of the classic GT cars, favoured by royalty and rock stars alike, and known to be smooth, quiet, very refined and easy to drive.
Carrozzeria Touring in Milan designed the car and Vignale, Turin, built the bodies for early models.
Our car, red in colour (but originally Mist Grey) and registered in May 1968, also fitted with power steering, comes with a French "Carte Grise" (equivalent of UK V5). Being owned by a delightfully eccentric French anglophile, it has been stored in a dry barn/warehouse alongside predominantly British siblings such as Jaguars, other Jensens and Range Rovers, she represents a wonderful restoration opportunity.
It is worth noting that chassis 115/2844 was first registered in the UK on 4th May 1968 with the registration NOE 9F.
