Classic Cars is very pleased to present one of the rarer American
powered British hybrid imports from the 1970s, a 1974 Jensen
Interceptor III. This example was built in December 1973 at the
Kelvin Way Factory in West Bromwich, near Birmingham, England.�
This awesome Interceptor comes from the southern state of El Paso,
Texas and then to a Chevy dealer in Battle Creek Michigan. Finished
in British Racing Green, appropriately enough, this Anglo auto's
paint and trim are in overall excellent condition. Minor blemishes
are noted on the hood and cowl. The windows, including the compound
curved rear hatch with its electric grid defroster are clear and
crack-free. The cars lights are in very good order. This Jensen's
bodywork is straight, its engine bay is tidy, the battery looks
good and the cargo area is in fine order. The car's chrome bumpers
look great and fit tightly to the body and this Jensen rolls on
whitewall radials, size 215/70R15 at all four corners. Each tire
wraps around a five-spoke GKN alloy wheel. Flip open the
forward-hinged hood and you'll see something surprising yet very
familiar - a Chrysler 440 CID V-8 engine that has recently been
tuned. Backing that big-block beast is a Torqueflite A727
three-speed automatic transmission. Driver convenience features
include air-conditioning, power steering and power brakes. Inside,
open the door and the rich leather aroma fills the air and the
car's green and platinum Connolly leather seats look fantastic, as
does the complementing green Wilton wool carpet and contrasting
light green headliner. The original two-spoke steering wheel faces
the driver and the instrument panel, with its full array of
ancillary gauges canted to face the driver, is in very good order.
The center console features woodgrain trim for some added warmth
and is in very good order. The air conditioning is inoperable but
complete. While there is an AM/FM stereo with a CD player, it's not
a Jensen; it's a Sony. Carrozzeria Touring of Italy designed the
Interceptor and it may have taken some styling cues from
the�Brasinca Uirapuru,�with its distinctive large, curving
wrap-around rear window that doubled as a�tailgate. Some people
might glimpse some Citro�n DS motifs, too. The original Jensen
specifications included electric windows, reclining front seats, a
wood-rimmed steering wheel, radio with twin speakers, reversing
lights and an electric clock.�Power steering�was included as
standard from September 1968. The Mark III, introduced in 1971,
revised the front grille, headlamp finishers and bumper treatment
again. It had GKN alloy wheels and air conditioning as standard,
and revised seats. It was divided into G-, H-, and J-series
depending on the production year. The big block 440 V-8 superseded
the 383 V-8 in 1971. For 1974, the car received minor changes - a
restyled steering wheel, a rheostat added to the instrument
lighting and the radio's on/off switch controlled the power
antenna. Competition to this Jensen in 1974 included AMC's Javelin,
Chevrolet's Camaro, Dodge's Challenger, Plymouth's Barracuda,
Pontiac's Firebird and Porsche's 911. If this car intrigues you,
you owe it to yourself to visit the MotoeXotica Classic Cars
showroom in person to check it out. You are not likely to see
another one at any cruise night or car show you attend. VIN:
