VENDOR LISTING ON CAR AND CLASSIC PREVIOUSLY

 

1969 Jensen Interceptor Mk1 For SaleJensen Interceptor Mk1 SBC 900G 115/3342 Only 2 previous owners, last owner for 35 years. This particular car is the rarest and most desirable of Interceptors, being a Mk 1. It is a late production model, built just prior to the Mk II in 1969. So it has the superior Mk II suspension and Girling brakes, coupled with the early high compression 383 engine. Originally specified in Metallic fawn with Champagne leather upholstery, as it remains today, the car has benefitted from a sympathetic restoration. The car retains many rare features such as the detail stickers on the end of the interior switches, which are almost always missing on these cars. Even the original Jack is included. The only non factory additions are the period alloy wheels and vintage wooden steering wheel that were fitted back in the 70's by the previous owner. Also the Black vinyl roof that was a Mk II option, but you could take your Mk1 into the dealer to get one fitted. The car looks, drives, and feels absolutely right. Almost silent inside when cruising, but with that glorious V8 symphony from the rear when pressing on. A car that really has to be seen to be fully appreciated. As always with any car approaching its half Century, the car will be sold as seen. Any questions please do not hesitate to ask. Carter 07834 779231
