Finished in black with black interior and described as driving with no known faults, this handsome Jensen is certainly an impressive looking car. This 7212cc engine is a delight when she bursts into life and is very responsive on the road, it is hard to believe this car is 46 years old. The styling of Interceptors is certainly impressive, borne out of how many admiring glances these cars attract on the open road. Supplied with a V5C registration document and a full years’ MoT test certificate, this is certainly one of the better examples available today.
