Jensen Interceptor MKIII 7.2 V8, 1972. Four owners, 101,854 km,
service books from new.
Picture yourself behind the wheel of one of those rare automotive
icons that instantly conjures a sense of class, power and
exclusivity. That is the Jensen Interceptor. Jensen Motors, founded
in West Bromwich in the 1930s, was always renowned for its
craftsmanship and for marrying British elegance to brute
performance. Where the likes of Aston Martin and Jaguar chased the
racing circuit, Jensen went for the ultimate Grand Tourer: a car
built to devour great distances in style and comfort, with enough
grunt to raise a grin at every set of traffic lights.
The Interceptor arrived in 1966 as the marque's flagship. The model
was a bold leap for Jensen: an entirely new design by the Italian
coachbuilder Carrozzeria Touring. The flowing lines, the commanding
long bonnet and that signature panoramic rear window gave the
Interceptor a presence that was well ahead of its time.
When the MKIII launched in 1971, Jensen was at the very top of its
game. The MKIII was more luxurious, more powerful and more refined
than ever before, and the example you see here is a glorious
specimen of that ultimate iteration.
The story continues on our website, where the full file is kept as
well. 79 photographs including the underside. The service history,
scanned in full. The Carfax report. Paint thickness measured panel
by panel. The original factory brochure to page through. A timeline
from 8 December 1972 to today, with every owner and the mileage
year by year in a single graph.
Every car here follows the same route: first pre-market, then the
showroom, and finally the online auction on our own website. What
changes is the way you buy, not the location - once a car has
arrived, it stays with us in Katwijk. This car is being auctioned
on our own website, not on this platform. A reserve applies which
we do not publish. If it is met, the car is sold to the highest
bidder. If it is not met, we put the highest bid to the owner and
you hear where you stand the same day.
How to bid: on the HooG Selections website, with a free account.
That is also where you see the current bid and how much time is
left. A bid sent by message or through this platform does not count
in the auction, send us a message and we will send you the direct
link. Bidding opens at € 27,500. The auction closes on 11 October
2026. If a bid comes in during the final minutes, the clock keeps
running, so everyone has a chance to respond. A bid cannot be
withdrawn once the auction is running. If you win, the sale is
concluded, if you buy as a private individual, you then have the
statutory fourteen-day right of withdrawal.
Within the EU no customs duty arises on this purchase. Registration
tax and registration costs in your own country are not included. We
supply the export documents and assist with the registration. We
arrange insured door-to-door transport worldwide, cost quoted per
destination beforehand.
Our showroom measures 6,000 m�, with over 150 cars under one roof.
