Description

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

The story behind this collectible...

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

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

Introduced in 1971, the Mark III brought subtle refinements to the nose, bumpers and lighting, while adding GKN alloy wheels, air-conditioning and redesigned seats as standard. Depending on build date you received a G-, H- or J-series. This particular car is a 1971 model—meaning the coveted 7.2-litre 440 ci V8 lies beneath the bonnet. The earlier 6.3-litre made way for what is essentially a British gentleman in an American power suit: picture tweed jacket, magnificent moustache 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 refinished wheels. Every detail has been addressed, leaving the car in beautifully rust-free condition.

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

Is that you? We invite you to experience her in person.
