• Over £45,000 of Engineering-Led Upgrades & Development

OVERVIEW

A distinctive and increasingly collectible British GT, the Jensen Interceptor MKIII Convertible combines hand-built craftsmanship, Italian styling, and effortless American V8 performance.

With just 514 MKIII Convertibles produced worldwide, and only 86 delivered to the UK, this is a genuinely rare example within the classic market.

What sets this car apart is not simply its rarity, but the level of considered engineering investment it has received. Rather than remaining a standard, carburetted Interceptor with typical usability compromises, this example has been developed into a far more resolved and capable car.

The result is a classic that retains its character, but behaves with a level of consistency and usability that makes it genuinely enjoyable to use.

SERVICE & PREPARATION

This Interceptor has benefitted from a comprehensive programme of upgrades and system-led improvements, focused on delivering a more reliable, responsive and usable driving experience.

Key enhancements include:

• Electronic Fuel Injection conversion – delivering improved cold starting, throttle response and consistent fuelling
• Bespoke exhaust system with upgraded manifolds – enhancing both performance delivery and V8 character
• Cooling system optimisation, including upgraded electric fan setup and revised system control for improved temperature stability
• Brake system upgrade and overhaul, including calipers, pads and handbrake components for improved confidence and usability
• Gearbox system refinement, including removal, resealing and supporting upgrades to improve reliability and operation
• Electrical system reworking, addressing known weak points and improving overall reliability and functionality
• Ignition and ECU optimisation, ensuring smoother running and improved drivability

This is not a car that has simply been “maintained” — it has been developed, with each system addressed as part of a broader objective: to create a more usable, dependable and rewarding Interceptor.

WHY THIS CAR STANDS OUT

• Rare UK MKIII Convertible (1 of 86)
• Properly upgraded, not just preserved
• Key systems improved to modern usability expectations
• Bespoke exhaust and EFI transform driving experience
• Significant investment already absorbed
