1975 Jensen Interceptor Mark III Convertible

SOLD: 1975 Jensen Interceptor Mark III Convertible

This is a properly-restored, very rare Jensen convertible that has been completely sorted and had all the questionable bits replaced. It is not an 100-point car, and was not restored to be. But it is a very, very nice high-point car that would look good in anyone’s garage or in front of a stately home - and it drives like a dream.

Full body-on professional restoration, including:

• new chrome bumpers and rocker panels

• new red finish, hand-rubbed

• dead-straight body panels

• new factory-made hood from Britain

• new hood struts

• interior leather restored

• new burled walnut veneer

• some new carpet as needed

• new front wiring loom

• new wiring as needed throughout, including power top and rear lights

• new top relays and pump

• new power window motors

• new/refurbished dash rocker switches

• new trunk liners/carpet

• restored original fire extinguisher and jack

• very good top

• new weatherstripping

• undercarriage stripped of old undercoat and re-coated

• wheels hand-stripped, polished and re-painted with high-impact paint

• engine and transmission overhauled as needed, new seals, gaskets, hoses, connectors, battery, fans, fan transformers, alternator, etc.

• underhood detailed

• re-chromed Jensen valve covers

• new brakes

• newer exhaust and brake lines

• owner’s manual, shop manuals, advertising materials, etc.

• spare black convertible top in the box

Here are the car’s deficiencies:

• the tonneau cover has shrunk too much to be used. I have a person ready to make and properly fit a new one for $750 but haven’t got around to it yet.

• the AC needs to be recharged. I haven’t been driving the car and so haven’t dealt with this yet, either.

• there is one small blemish on the newly-rechromed rear bumper, hardly noticeable but there. The chrome shop has gone out of business so I can’t pursue them, but most people wouldn’t likely see it anyway.

• Like most Jensens, the door open retainers don’t work well.
