Jensen Interceptor S LS3 6.2l V8 for sale

From the seller: “This is no ordinary Interceptor. A genuine JIA built Interceptor S conversion with fully uprated suspension including independent rear, modern LS3 6.2l V8 with 430 bhp driving though modern 6 speed auto transmission and reined in with huge AP racing front brakes, this is a thoroughly modern, reliable, efficient high performance classic car.

ULEZ and road fund licence exempt, the modern mechanicals mean complete reliability in traffic or at sustained high speed whilst modern engine management means vastly improved mpg and exhaust emissions. Efficient heating and A/C, a spacious interior with generous boot, power steering, excellent brakes, excellent visibility, comfy seats and all wrapped in the very coolest of shapes topped off with a glorious V8 soundtrack, could this be just the perfect London car?… or the perfect car full stop?

Potted History:

The donor car began life in 1975 and underwent considerable body restoration to a high standard in the mid 90s, along with fresh carpets (since replaced again) and a full reconnollisation of the original leather. We have all the bills to prove this and even documents back to the first MoT in 1978! The car suffered engine failure shortly after being returned to the road and it seems the owner moved abroad at this time leaving the car stored in an air chamber in a dry domestic garage for the next 20+ years.

Upon extraction from the garage it was found to be a genuine timewarp car, an amazing advert for the efficiency of a “Carcoon”. The bodywork and brightwork had all survived completely unharmed with the paint still retaining a good lustre, the interior was likewise in amazing condition with carpets fresh and connollisation still looking remarkably good. Dash, instruments, seatbelts etc were all re-useable and even the vehicle electrics were in good order, the car having received a new loom during restoration. Mechanically, however, dead engine (removed), brakes unserviceable, all rubbers and hoses perished, ancient tyres, dried out wheel bearing grease etc etc etc, all needed completely starting again.”
