Our 1973 Jensen Interceptor “III” S is a masterfully reimagined classic, one of only 50 examples built by V Eight Ltd of Cropredy Bridge, and a true statement of British motoring heritage. Car number 8 in this exclusive series, it exudes sophistication with its exquisite Rolls-Royce Royal Blue exterior finish, perfectly paired with a luxurious white leather interior featuring quilted seats and headlining. With just 6,450 miles covered since its restoration, this Interceptor offers an unparalleled blend of timeless elegance and cutting-edge engineering.

Constructed using an original 1976 Jensen Interceptor as its foundation, the car was taken back to bare metal, meticulously refurbished, and electrophoretically dipped to stabilise and protect the body to modern new-car standards. Finished with the finest modern paint systems in a colour scheme carefully chosen to enhance its classic lines, this is a car that commands attention. The craftsmanship continues inside, where the cabin has been completely retrimmed with the finest new leather hides and Wilton carpets tailored to perfection. The level of detail is second to none, with bespoke upgrades ensuring the interior delivers a level of comfort and style befitting a modern grand tourer.

Powering this masterpiece is a General Motors LS2 6.0-litre all-aluminium V8 engine, producing an impressive 435bhp. This latest-generation engine combines effortless performance with refined reliability, and when paired with the GM 4-speed electronic automatic transmission with overdrive, it offers smooth, exhilarating driving on any journey. The limited-slip differential ensures power is delivered to the road with precision, making this car as capable as it is beautiful.

The driving dynamics have been thoroughly reengineered, with independent double-wishbone suspension at the front and a sophisticated rear setup featuring single wishbones and dual adjustable coil-over gas dampers. Adjustable dampers at both ends allow the ride to be finely tuned for comfort or performance, and the inclusion of an anti-roll bar ensures confidence-inspiring cornering. Stopping power is equally impressive, thanks to AP Racing 6-pot callipers and large vented discs at the front, paired with solid rear discs and single-pot callipers equipped with an internal handbrake.

The car’s stance is perfectly complemented by bespoke 17-inch aluminium wheels that retain the spirit of the original Jensen design while accommodating modern tyres for enhanced handling and road manners. These carefully chosen upgrades, combined with the car’s inherent charm, make every drive a unique experience, blending classic character with contemporary precision.

This Jensen Interceptor “III” S represents the pinnacle of classic motoring, brought to life with modern craftsmanship and attention to detail. It is a rare opportunity to own an iconic piece of automotive history, meticulously restored and upgraded to offer the perfect balance of nostalgia and usability. Whether admired for its rarity, cherished for its beauty, or driven for its unmatched presence on the road, this Interceptor is truly in a class of its own.
