Engine No. J2396.123G

One of 478 right-hand-drive Jensen Interceptor IIs built in 1971

Covered just over 4,000 miles from 1979 to 2025

Only two owners from new; retained by the vendor since the mid-1970s

Powered by its matching-numbers Chrysler 383 cubic-inch (6.3-litre) V-8 engine

Finished in the factory-correct colour scheme of Metallic Quartz over a Black interior

Accompanied by its handbook, a Jensen Motors Statement of Origin, copies of the factory build records, MoT certificates dating from 1979, and assorted invoices

Manufactured on 3 August 1971, this Jensen Interceptor was one of just 101 cars painted in Metallic Quartz and trimmed with a Black interior, further to being one of only 478 examples built in right-hand drive for its year of construction. The Jensen left the factory configured with air conditioning, Sundym glass, a Voxson 8-track player with radio, as well as town and country air horns. The Interceptor was delivered new to dealer Charles Follet Ltd in north London on 6 August 1971, and later purchased by Mr E A Wyatt of Dulwich, south London. Copies of the factory warranty records show that by the September of that year, the car had covered just over 1,000 miles. Then, by May 1972, the odometer read 3,897 miles. Mr Wyatt’s next-door neighbour at the time, the consigning owner, acquired this Interceptor sometime in the mid-1970s. An MoT certificate issued in 1979 recorded the odometer reading as 2,498 miles. Please note, it is believed that between late-1972 and 1979, the odometer was changed. The numerous MoT certificates on file, along with a letter from Jensen in 1992 that remarks the “mileage of 4,926 is undoubtedly accurate”, demonstrate that the car has covered only 4,000 miles from 1979 to 2025. Used sparingly over the past two decades, this Jensen Interceptor would benefit from recommissioning prior to road use. In June 2025, the carburettor was rebuilt, alongside new sparks plugs and a new battery being fitted. Today, the Jensen still presents in its factory-correct colour scheme of Metallic Quartz over a Black interior. The odometer reads 6,701 miles at the time of cataloguing. The car retains its matching-numbers Chrysler V-8 engine and looks to have retained its period Voxson 8-track radio. The history file contains previous MoT certificates, the driver’s handbook, tool kit, invoices, and a Jensen Motors Statement of Origin, which verifies the factory options and colours. Having remained in long-term single ownership spanning five decades, this low-mileage Interceptor is a charming and cherished example of 1970s British motoring.
