SUMMARY
Arguably the most glamorous and prestigious of all Interceptor variants, looking simply stunning in Brienz Blue.
DESCRIPTION
- Débuting at the 1974 Geneva Motor Show, the Interceptor Convertible was based on the same tubular chassis as its fixed-head sibling
- The Convertible represented the West Bromwich manufacturer's highest aspirations at the time of its arrival in 1974
- Powered by a 7.2-litre Chrysler V8 mated to TorqueFlite automatic transmission and capable of 0-60mph in 7.6 seconds and 126mph
- Based on the Interceptor III only 456 Convertibles were built, the majority going abroad
- This stunning example dates from 1974 and returned from California in 1989, was converted to right-hand drive and re-registered in the UK in February 1990
- Superbly presented in a fabulous shade of Brienz Blue enhanced by thin silver and red coachlines
- The interior is equally impressive in black leather with unusual sheepskin seat panels
- Indicated mileage is just under 25,000, not warranted but looking at the quality of the interior, engine bay and underside of the car, it may well be accurate
- The automatic gearbox and torque converter have been replaced in recent times, though just 4,000 miles have been covered in the last 16 years
- It's supplied with an extensive history file containing numerous invoices, receipts, MOT Certificates, Jensen Interceptor handbook and convertible supplement along with a workshop manual for the car
- These convertibles are rare and this stunning example would grace any collection of British classics
