Jensen’s C-V8 replacement debuted in 1966 reviving a name first employed in the 1950s. However, several of the firm’s traditions were broken in that the design was outsourced to Carrozzeria Touring, and the bodies made of steel, not glass fibre. Early shells were built in Italy, by Vignale, before production was established at Jensen’s Kelvin Way plant in West Bromwich. Power came from a 6276cc Chrysler V8, driving through either a four-speed manual or three-speed Torque Flite automatic transmission to an LSD Salisbury rear axle. The specification included electric windows, reclining seats, a wood-rim steering wheel, radio with twin speakers, an electric clock, and reversing lights. MkI production ran for three years before being supplanted by the MkII. The MkIII followed two years later and was still in production when Jensen entered receivership during 1976, by which time some 6, 408 Interceptors had been built.
In previous long term ownership for 36 years, this Interceptor benefits from a number of recent works having been carried out. These include an engine out core plug replacement, the fitment of a new Holley carburettor and air filter and a new alternator. Sounding well on inspection and fitted with a stainless steel exhaust, ACD 836K is offered with history file, invoices and current V5C.
