1971 Jensen Interceptor III Gentlemans Saloon

The Jensen Interceptor III, with body styled by Vignale, can best be described as a sports touring car with seating for four, and trunk space to match. Safety, comfort and good performance with reliability are the major factors behind the entire concept.
With Italian designed coach work, traditional English workmanship and American power, the Interceptor was built in West Bromwich, England. The all steel body is gas and CO2 arc-welded to the chassis for maximum strength and rigidity. The strength of the Interceptor is attested to by its weight of 3,550 lbs. 
Luxury and attention to detail were the keynotes to the Jensen interior. Connolly English leather and Wilton carpets were used in the interior. It has a host of items including Power-Steering, Air Conditioning, Electric Windows,  Electric Antenna, and Electrically operated fuel filler flap. In addition, the Interceptor has a radio with four speakers and an 8-track stereo. Lots of 8 track tapes will be included.
There were only 18 Jensen's produced a week. This is a low figure but their standards were high. Each car was in the hands of their craftsmen for 10 weeks. It, obviously, costs a lot of money to make a car this way but by  the  same token you got a of car for your investment. 
This car is rust free and has always been garaged. There are several things in the boot that will come in handy, if needed. For instance, covers for most of the outside lights that need them, i.e. brake lights, reflectors for several other places. The vin number matches the engine. There is the original fire extinguisher, jack in the original leather case, and head cushions for the front seats.  The odometer turns over at 99,999 and is currently 1200.
