1975 JENSEN INTERCEPTOR III CONVERTIBLE THE ULTIMATE BRITISH COACHBUILT GRAND TOURER
ONE OF JUST 91 RIGHT-HAND-DRIVE EXAMPLES PRODUCED AN EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTOR'S MASTERPIECE
RARE COLLECTOR OPPORTUNITY
A CIRCA $500,000 RECENT COMPREHENSIVE RESTORATION | STUNNING MAGENTA | MAGNOLIA & CREAM INTERIOR
There are beautiful cars, there are rare cars, and then there are automobiles that transcend both categories to become genuine works of art.
This extraordinary 1975 Jensen Interceptor III Convertible belongs firmly in the latter category. One of just 91 right-hand-drive examples produced, this remarkable British grand tourer represents one of the rarest and most desirable expressions of the legendary Jensen Interceptor.
Recently subjected to an extensive, circa $500,000 restoration, undertaken to bring this magnificent example to what is represented as the finest standard in the world, this is an opportunity to acquire something truly exceptional.
A RESTORATION OF THIS MAGNITUDE IS NOT SIMPLY ABOUT BRINGING A CAR BACK TO LIFE IT IS ABOUT CREATING SOMETHING EXTRAORDINARY.
DESIGN A MASTERPIECE OF ITALIAN COACHBUILDING
Originally styled by the legendary Italian design houses Carrozzeria Touring and Vignale, the Jensen Interceptor is an unmistakable fusion of Italian elegance and British craftsmanship. Hand-built in England, its dramatic proportions, sculptured bodywork, distinctive glass rear window and beautifully balanced convertible silhouette have ensured its place among the most admired British grand touring automobiles of its era. Finished in an absolutely spectacular Magenta, complemented by a sumptuous Magnolia and Cream interior, this example possesses a presence that is impossible to overlook.
The colour combination is bold, sophisticated and wonderfully individual exactly what a car of this calibre should be.
THE HEART AMERICAN MUSCLE, BRITISH SOUL
Beneath the bonnet lies the legendary 7.2-litre Chrysler Mopar V8.
A magnificent big-block powerplant delivering the unmistakable character, effortless torque and thunderous soundtrack that made the Interceptor such an extraordinary grand touring machine. This is motoring from a different era, where performance was accompanied by theatre, occasion and an unmistakable sense of occasion.
