With its deep blue paint and beautiful brown leather interior, this car exudes pure luxury and class. The rich history and iconic design make the Jensen Interceptor a coveted collector's item. In this article, we take you through the story of this legendary car, with a special focus on the cabriolet version.

The history of the Jensen Interceptor

The Jensen Interceptor was first introduced in 1966 by Jensen Motors, a British car manufacturer known for its exclusive and high-quality vehicles. The model was designed by the Italian coachbuilder Carrozzeria Touring, contributing to the car’s refined and elegant lines. The name "Interceptor" was not new to Jensen; it had been used previously in the 1950s, but the model from the 1960s achieved iconic status. This Jensen is in a driving condition. We have some history but not a triple A booklet. We have the original wheels with the car. The car has a oil leak at the gearbox sealing, but can be driven. The car is in a good looking state. Not new, but just fine and good for driving.

The Iconic Status of the Jensen Interceptor

The Jensen Interceptor is no ordinary car; it is a true icon on wheels. The combination of style, power, and rarity has given this car a special place in the automotive world. Especially the cabriolet version, with its unique blue and brown color scheme, attracts the attention of car enthusiasts and collectors worldwide. Only 267 examples of the Jensen Interceptor cabriolet were ever produced, further enhancing its exclusivity and collectible value.

This powerful engine, combined with a remarkably low weight of just 1590 kg, provides an exceptional power-to-weight ratio.
