SALES INFORMATION

This is without a doubt the most impressive Jensen Interceptor MkIII we’ve ever had the pleasure of presenting and admiring. The 1973 car shines in the metallic green California Sage, combined with a chic black leather interior known as Weir Caledonian, complemented by top-quality dark gray Starlight Alcantara.

What makes this Jensen even more special is that it was originally delivered new in the Netherlands, something extremely rare at the time. The current owner had the car fully restored to his own specifications between 2018 and 2022, a project carried out by skilled craftsmen in both England and the Netherlands. The entire process has been meticulously documented with hundreds of photos and extensive folders neatly documenting all details, descriptions, and specifications. Numerous modifications were made during the restoration to elevate the efficiency, reliability, and performance of the engine and electronics to an unparalleled level. Cost was hardly a factor; the mechanics’ brief was simply to deliver the very best. And they’ve certainly delivered.

The owner, whom we’ve known for many years, is passionate about perfection and settles for nothing less than the very best. Much of his enjoyment revolves around direct involvement in the restoration process and working with a team of professionals to achieve perfection.

Since the completion of the restoration in 2022, the car has covered approximately 15.000 kilometers without a single problem. The car offers not only astonishing performance but also unparalleled driving comfort. With an upgraded 436 hp and a whopping 646 Nm of torque at 4100 rpm, this Jensen is a true joy to drive. Features like perfectly functioning air conditioning and power steering are, of course, included and contribute to the comfortable experience. The powerful 7390 cc V8 engine was built by renowned English specialist John Sleath, while the interior was meticulously crafted by Prototrim of Milton Keynes.

No expense was spared; absolutely everything was carried out to the highest standard. The total investment in this restoration exceeded €300.000,= Of course, this doesn’t reflect its current value, as the owner, out of love for his passion, has always prioritized financial considerations. This offers the new owner the opportunity to immediately benefit from a top-notch Jensen without the wait for a restoration.

Are you wondering if we’re being overly complimentary? Absolutely not! Anyone with a Jensen Interceptor on their wish list should come see and experience this car. It’s truly fantastic. This unique Jensen Interceptor MkIII is now ready for its next owner—a truly lucky person!
