Buyer’s notes

About the Jensen Interceptor

The Interceptor was shown at the Earls Court Motor Show in October 1966. Touring of Milan designed it, Vignale built the first bodies, and Jensen assembled the cars at West Bromwich with a 6,276 cc Chrysler V8 and TorqueFlite automatic; later cars had the larger 440 cu in engine. About 6,400 were built to 1976.

What moves the price

  • Body condition: rust in the inner sills and lower panels decides what a car will cost.
  • Version: the series and engine, and convertibles, are priced differently.
  • History: documented body and mechanical work.

Before you buy, check

  • The inner sills, behind the outer sills and stainless trim, with a magnet for filler.
  • The wheel arches, front and rear valances, lower wings and the lower front bulkhead.
  • The tailgate glass hinges and surround, the windscreen surround, and the steering rack for leaks onto the subframe.
