Jensen Interceptor Mk2 1969

Jensen Interceptor Mk2 1969, 383 auto.


Can't beat a proper 60s GT.


This RHD is for sale. As good as mint and a awesome thing to drive. It feels so light!


As a kid I fell in love with the huge rear.


17s to fill out the arches better.


That 6.3 liter is a crisp thing of beauty.

Love the Interceptor. No radio either. Did you get the wheels from Appleyards?

[dinkel]

I have no idea. The owner offered me the wheel. Amazing car which made me think we did not make a lot of progress... Drove the new A-Class yesterday and it was a turd. Autoboxes need proper power to work.

What a gorgeous looking thing that is, the two tone paint combo really suits it.

It's for sale. RHD 383 auto, Dutch car.

Thats got to be an early mk2 with thous back lights.me think the best of all the interseptors apart from the sp.

Looks almost identical to mine ...

Mine's a 1969 MKII as well , but the 19th produced by Jensen with the 'new' Lucas rear lights .

Supersonic Velvet indeed .

Cheers , Harald

Hasn't the Interceptor aged well in the last 10 years, they look bloody good now, I could never see it decades back.

Once a month I get the current A class as hire car, it is a turd rolled in glitter, remarkable how far backward Merc have done.

I drove the new A: I could not get used to it. Unlike the RHD Jensen which fitted like a glove.

I wonder how much bigger a new A-Class is than a Jensen Interceptor

Well... the A is a five seater really

And back in the day an Interceptor was a serious luxury bit of kit

[dinkel]

It still is. I had a ball!

It sounds like you had a great time OP!

I've always loved the Interceptor, just wasn't brave enough back when they were fairly cheap!

But I had a work colleague back in the early 80s who bought a red SP for about £3,000 IIRC! It was a bit tired, but was still a stunning car. Mind you he couldn't afford to use it every day, so he came to work in an old Renault 10.

MPG can't be an issue if you have one of these
