1974 JENSEN INTERCEPTOR MK III CONVERTIBLE

The Jensen Interceptor MK Convertible was built in limited numbers between 1974 and 1976.  Only 509 (including prototypes) were built and of these 80% were left hand drive for export to the United States of America.  The very rare right hand drive models are much sought after and are the most glamorous and prestigious model of all Jensens.  Hand-built to compete with the Rolls-Royce Corniche and the Bentley Convertible models, the car was launched a the 1974 Geneva Motor Show.  Featuring a 7.2 litre Chrysler V8 engine and TorqueFlite automatic transmission it was an immediate success and caught the imagination of the glamorous set, including Frank Sinatra; 'Wonder Woman', Lynda Carter; Cher; authors Harold Robbins and Frederick Forsyth; a Rockefeller, a Penthouse 'Pet'; the drummer of Led Zeppelin and Middle Eastern potentates.

This early right hand drive example, built 3 May 1974, is in excellent condition with an extensive file of restoration work carried out.  Originally finished in Havana Brown with beige interior it is now stunningly presented in silver with red burgundy leather interior.
