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shown in London at the October 1966 Earls Court Motor Show, the Interceptor had a model life of three years, being superseded in October 1969 by the Interceptor II.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 coachbuilding 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, Mist Grey in colour and registered in June 1968 with registration number TMF 9F, chassis 115/2823 is fitted with power steering and has been in the same ownership of a delightfully eccentric anglophilic Frenchman since 1992 - an incredible 22 years of sole ownership, nearly half the car's entire life. Stored in a dry barn/warehouse alongside predominantly British siblings such as Jaguars, other Jensens and Range Rovers, she represents a wonderful restoration opportunity and still has her UK V5.
She is very rusty (but she can very much be saved) and consequently will appeal to someone able to either lavish much love and/or who is inspired by the challenge.
