1972 JENSEN SP INTERCEPTOR MK.III
Offered here then, is a very rare car indeed. Delivered new to Switzerland, one of only 2 SPs finished in Flag Red, it is one of the thirteen, genuine, left hand drive SPs. Brought to the US in 1990, it was returned to the Jensen factory for some refurbishment and upgrades in 1991. In 2009, the last owner switched out the automatic transmission for a period-correct, four-speed, manual Chrysler gearbox. This transformed the performance of the car, with a far broader set of gear ratios, thus enabling it to pull through the rev-range far more freely than the original, three-speed, automatic whilst being much faster off the line, yet revving much lower at freeway speeds. In addition to the transmission swap, he performed a host of other upgrades to increase the driveability and performance of the car, including crank-fired ignition, modern A/C components, HID headlights and much more. Currently in good, 'driver' condition, the body and undercarriage appear straight and rust free whilst the interior contains both original and refurbished elements, though ultimately, it could benefit from some tidying. Mechanically, the car is very strong and the matching numbers engine pulls like a train on the road! This then, is the true Grail for Jensen collectors (I have certainly never seen another) and would make an unbeatable addition to a marque collection.
