About this car

The Series I is the original Jensen Interceptor, the Italian-styled grand tourer that replaced the fibreglass CV8 in 1966. This 1968 car is an automatic with power steering, finished in California Sage Metallic over a black leather interior.

The headline is the odometer: 13,361 miles from new, which is remarkably low for a car of this age. The dealer describes it as unrestored and original throughout, and believes it may be the lowest-mileage Interceptor currently on the market.

The history file includes the original green logbook. The page lists two former keepers, though the text elsewhere refers to three keepers since new, so the ownership count is worth confirming on viewing.
