from $599 per month-call 636-600-4600 MotoeXotica 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 theBrasinca Uirapuru,with its
distinctive large, curving wrap-around rear window that doubled as
atailgate. Some people might glimpse some Citroen 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
steeringwas 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:
