DESCRIPTION

This 1971 Jensen Interceptor looks resplendent in Gold, with a black vinyl roof and it's striking outward appearance is set off nicely by its recently re-trimmed black hide interior. The 6300cc engine employed in these earlier Interceptors was the most economical and reliable of all of the Chrysler engines and this one is still going strong, as you would expect, maintaining excellent oil pressure and running at the correct temperature. Those in the know will tell you that the 6,300cc is a neat bullet-proof engine which knew how to behave itself.

Since 1980 it has been the property of an enthusiastic owner who only parted with it in 2013 after 33 years in his tenure. The car comes with a healthy history file containing invoices for maintenance over the period of his ownership. Recently the car has been fitted with brand new alloy wheels sporting white wall tyres and has been completely re-trimmed with new black hide and good-quality black carpet. The car is not perfect and over the course of the next few years would benefit from some cosmetic improvement and a little effort on the bodywork, however, the car is solid and with such a strong engine and accurate gearbox it's a worthy candidate.

It appears that prices for Interceptors are finally coming of age. Between £50,000 and £70,000 has recently been achieved for better cars, and more for rarer variants such as the FF. Given this rise, we feel that this car represents value and serious bang for your buck in today's classic car arena.
