Just restored 1974 Jensen Interceptor For Sale

This 1974 Series 3 Jensen Interceptor has just been restored in our own workshops and is offered for sale in very good condition. It is a low owner car (5 plus me) and I have owned it for 12 years as my personal car and it has genuinely been maintained regardless of expense.

To prepare it for sale it has been fully resprayed and new parts fitted, including reconditioned speedometer, exhaust back and centre boxes and so on - around £1, 000 in parts alone. It is not just 'shiny' - it is also reliable and structurally excellent.

The car was originally restored and upgraded by Jensen Parts & Services at the factory in 1989 and is finished in the same colour combination that was chosen then of mid-metallic blue with a red burgundy interior. It has the 7. 2 litre V8 Chrysler engine (rebuilt in 2007) and has received regular and considerate use as part of my classic car hire fleet. This has been critical to its condition and reliability - this is not a car that has sat in a garage and consequently it does not suffer the reliability problems of little-used Jensens. As a result I have also been able to afford to maintain and improve the car continuously. The mileage is 120, 000.

I have run several Interceptors as hire cars and can honestly say that this is the only one that has proved reliable. For that reason it is one of only two classic cars that I have retained for the entire time that I have run this business. It rides and handles exactly as it should, smoothly and quietly without the shake or unsettled front end that some have.

The Interceptor is known for poor electrics and hidden rot. This car does not have those problems - it has been correctly and professionally restored. The electrics and wiring are fully working and reliable.

This is a non-exhaustive list of the car's condition, recent work and maintenance:

1. Full restoration in 2016 including respray, inner and out sills, wheelarches etc - see Youtube video - details above
2. To ensure the car was correct for sale we have just completed a bodywork refurbishment and respray, rectifying any paint chips, dents and scratches, totalling 200 hours of labour
3. Rebuilt engine (2007) with 30, 000 miles since
4. Reconditioned gearbox
5. Full service history spanning 3 large ringbinders and including first owner's notes of every journey he made
6. Retrimmed front seats
7. Brake overhaul
8. Full service & 12 months MOT
9. New carpets and overmats
10. New window regulators and wiper motor
11. Reconditioned speedometer

This is a well known car as it has appeared in a lot of TV programmes, magazines, high street advertising campaigns and music videos.

I will be extremely sad to see this car go but it has become too value to offer on hire. Perhaps unlike other 'box fresh' Interceptor restorations, this one is proven to be reliable - regular use and maintenance have shaken out any worries in that area. A well sorted Interceptor is a revelation - this is a well sorted, reliable and freshly restored Jensen.

The car is available to view in Redditch and I am happy to answer any questions by emailing using the button below or call the details below.

This is a private sale and the car is registered in my name.
