Body and mechanical restoration with full respray.
A "gentlemen's express" designed in Italy, powered by a big American V8 and built in England,
the Jensen interceptor is as powerful as it is striking. Hand built, expensive and exclusive the
Jensen Interceptor was designed as a modern alternative to the grand tourers from Jaguar and Aston martin.
We bought this interceptor as a project to add to our hire fleet. When we bought the car it had been painted red over the original yellow,
the body was in poor shape with both rear quarters and the bottoms of the front wings rusted through. The interior was in need of
repair and the engine needed attention. We fitted new rear quarter panels and repaired the front wings. The body was then stripped back to bare metal,
treated and painted yellow. The interior was stripped out and new carpets fitted, the seats were repaired and the whole lot refitted. The engine
needed a good service and tune, we also fitted new cooling fans and rewired the fans to improve cooling (always a big issue with Jensens!)
We ran this car on our hire fleet for 2 years before selling it on.
