Seller's comments about 1972' Jensen Interceptor
Kelham Hall | Newark, Nottinghamshire
Viewing: Tues 9th September from 12pm
Auction: Wed 10st September from 9am
1973 Jensen Interceptor III
Supplied new to Charles Follett Ltd and then owned by Viscountess Bearsted
Estimate
£25, 000 - £30, 000
Registration No: LRP 75L
Chassis No: 136-8087
MOT: T. B. A.
1 of just 735 'J Series' RHD examples made
Reputedly 1 of only 2 Interceptor III models to be upholstered in Olive leather
Formerly the property of the Viscountess Bearsted
Supplied new to Charles Follet Ltd of Mayfair and first registered as '18 PF' (so presumably the personal car of the famous Jensen concessionaire's then MD Pat Follett)
Subsequently registered as 'ERB 1E' and '1 NKR'
The subject of much past improvement work including engine and gearbox overhauls, repaint in BRG and rewiring etc
Introduced at the October 1971 Earls Court Motor Show, the Jensen Interceptor III shared the same striking Vignale-penned sheet metal and advanced tubular-chassis frame as its predecessors, but was readily distinguishable by its cast headlight surrounds, GKN alloy wheels and comprehensively revamped interior. Initially powered by a Chrysler 6. 3-litre V8 engine, the model was soon upgraded with an even larger 7. 2-litre unit. Boasting Torque-Flite three-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel disc brakes as standard, the 2+2-seater Coupe was both impressively refined and seriously quick. Indeed, the 7. 2-litre versions were reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 6. 4 seconds and 140mph. The model was bought by celebrities as diverse as Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham, golfer Peter Butler, British Foreign Secretary Lord Carrington and World Motorcycle Champion Phil Read. Of the 2, 477 Interceptor IIIs made, just 735 were RHD 136-series cars.
