Jensen Interceptor brochure circa 1980

Beautiful piece Rob, it shows Interceptor III introduced 1973 and convertible introduced then or shortly thereafter. I am guessing 1973-75.

 

This is a very nice item!!

 

Just a side note of no real importance to the thread, but just placing it here for the helluvit... there was a guy that worked in the building next door to one I worked in for a long time... both buildings shared the same parking lot. I'd see him from time to time & wave hello, but we never really talked - we'd just see other coming & going to or from work or lunch or what have you... he had a Jensen Interceptor as one of his cars.... he was a handicapped individual who used a wheelchair, and had a minivan, some other kind of car that I can't remember, and also the Interceptor... the Interceptor was a three-pedal car, and he had it all rigged up so that he could use everything including the clutch, ALL WItH HIS HANDS!!!

There was miles & miles of stainless steel linkages in this car... I was fricken' amazed.

 

That would be a rare car indeed. Only 24 manual transmission Interceptors were built, don't know how many(if any) were exported to USA. They are great interstate cruisers but prone to rust.

 

Really? I didn't know that. Well at least one of 'em got exported at some point! lol (maybe not when new, but it got here somehow).

I've only seen two of these cars "in the flesh"... the one I just mentioned, and one when I was a kid in MA, around 40-something years ago.
