The Jensen Interceptor was launched in 1966 with stunning styling by Touring of Italy, a hand-built body by Vignale in Italy, American (Chrysler) V8 power with a super-smooth automatic gearbox, and hand-built by English craftsmen at the Kelvin Way Factory in West Bromwich, near Birmingham. Although Jensen soon took over construction from Vignale, all Interceptors remained individual and these built-to-order cars were produced in probably more different paint colours than any other model. They also had a wide range of trim options and innumerable specification variations which is why many of them had individualistic celebrity owners. The Interceptor II had a naturally aspirated 6.3 Litre 16v V8 producing 325 BHP and gave the car a 0-60 mph time of 6.7 seconds and a maximum speed of 140 mph. This beautiful Jensen Interceptor II - Chassis No: 123/3933 and Engine Number: 3342/123E is according to the Jensen production record and Martin Robey Heritage Certificate a 'Matching Numbers' car and was hand-built at Jensen's Kelvin Way Factory in West Bromwich, near Birmingham in England between 9th-29th September 1970 and was despatched on 20th October 1970 to Jensen dealer Charles Follett in London. It was first registered on 1st December 1970 with the number plate XKJ 835J and delivered to its first owner who were Hertz Rent A Car. We do not know when the car left the UK for South Africa, but we understand it has been in Cape Town for at least 40 years and has had 3 owners there including the last owner who restored the car back in 2001. It has now covered a believed genuine 85,414 miles from new and it really is in lovely condition throughout with no corrosion anywhere to be seen and mechanically it seems very good indeed. We are just in the process of preparing the car for sale and UK registration back on its original number plate all being well, and full details and photographs will follow shortly.
