1973 Jensen Interceptor - - 7.2L V8 - Modern enhancements -

“The only car that makes your moustache grow faster.” — Jeremy Clarkson

The Jensen Interceptor: a hand-built grand tourer from the Kelvin Way factory near Birmingham, steeped in heritage dating back to the 1950s—but above all, renowned for its effortless cool.

What sets this Mk III apart? A decisive evolution in craftsmanship and materials. After years of relying on fiberglass composites (a nightmare for restorers), Jensen triumphantly returned to an all-steel body, designed by the legendary Italian house Carrozzeria Touring. Think of it as a glass of limoncello alongside your Beef Wellington.

Introduced in 1971, the Mark III brought subtle refinements to the nose, bumpers, and lighting, and added standard GKN alloy wheels, air conditioning, and redesigned seats. Depending on the production date, you received a G-, H-, or J-series. This car is a 1971 model, which means the coveted 7.2-liter 440 ci V8 lies under the hood. The earlier 6.3-liter gave way to what is essentially a British gentleman in an American power suit: a tweed jacket, a perfect mustache, and an appetite for hamburgers.

Our “Gentleman’s Express” has just enjoyed a thorough dose of TLC: overhauled brakes and front suspension, a new radiator, refreshed interior, and freshly painted wheels. Every detail has been addressed, leaving the car in stunning, rust-free condition.

Originally delivered in Paris—with those unmistakably cool yellow headlights—this car comes from a discerning private collection and is now ready for its next owner.

Could that be you? We invite you to experience her in person.
