Débuting at the 1974 Geneva Motor Show, the Interceptor Convertible was based on the same tubular chassis as its fixed-head sibling
The Convertible represented the West Bromwich manufacturer's highest aspirations at the time of its arrival in 1974
Powered by a 7. 2-litre Chrysler V8 mated to TorqueFlite automatic transmission and capable of 0-60mph in 7. 6 seconds and 126mph
Based on the Interceptor III only 456 Convertibles were built, the majority going abroad
This stunning example dates from 1974 and returned from California in 1989, was converted to right-hand drive and re-registered in the UK in February 1990
Superbly presented in a fabulous shade of Brienz Blue enhanced by thin silver and red coachlines
The interior is equally impressive in black leather with unusual sheepskin seat panels
Indicated mileage is just under 25, 000, not warranted but looking at the quality of the interior, engine bay and underside of the car, it may well be accurate
The automatic gearbox and torque converter have been replaced in recent times, though just 4, 000 miles have been covered in the last 16 years
It's supplied with an extensive history file containing numerous invoices, receipts, MOT Certificates, Jensen Interceptor handbook and convertible supplement along with a workshop manual for the car
These convertibles are rare and this stunning example would grace any collection of British classics
