1967 JENSEN INTERCEPTOR

This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, The Classic Sale at the NEC Classic Motor Show 2026 on Sunday the 15th of November, NEC, Birmingham, B40 1NT. Estimated price: GBP 25,000 - GBP 30,000.

First shown in London at the October 1966 Earls Court Motor Show, the Jensen Interceptor Mk l was produced for just three years and only 1,024 examples were built, of which just 923 were in right-hand drive

Chassis #115/2584 (aka ‘Lola’ to our vendor) is an intriguing example; being a very early West Bromwich built car, it retains some earlier Vignale-built specification parts, including window switches, Beechwood fillets to the front screen, a stainless-steel bonnet pull, 'hockey sticks' to side windows, Jensen side emblem, an emergency boot release (a wire-pull underneath the car), and recesses in the rear of the backseats (to house rear window demisting fans)

Fitted with a rare Black Ambla interior and even rarer front-end modifications, including power steering added by way of removing the outmoded kingpin front suspension of the Mk I and adding the superior independent, coil-sprung, ball-jointed wishbone suspension of the Mk II, all sleeved and completed by Jensen Motors Ltd

Campaigned in numerous regulatory rallies, namely the 2005 15th CRA Winter Challenge to Monte Carlo and others

Acquired by our vendor in 2010, who has overseen work done to some areas of rust on the bodywork (including tailgate) and a respray (in 2016; c.£12,500), an overhaul of the sills, floorpans and gearbox (in 2011; c.£3,500), the fitment of an Edelbrock carburettor, electronic ignition and new rear brakes (2023), plus new front brake calipers (2026); a stainless steel fuel tank has also been utilised

In good usable condition and accompanied by numerous spares (see photos, list upon request) plus its original Carter carburettor
