A rare opportunity to own a genuine New Zealand–new example of the iconic Jensen Interceptor III, one of the most charismatic grand tourers of the 1970s. Hand-built in West Bromwich, England, the Interceptor combined elegant Italian styling by Carrozzeria Touring with the reliability and muscle of a Chrysler 7.2-litre V8. The result was effortless power, a distinctive presence, and a driving experience that still turns heads today.
This 1974 Series III features the hallmark wraparound rear glass hatch, opulent leather interior, and a commanding road stance. The Chrysler big-block delivers smooth yet brutal performance, perfectly matched to the TorqueFlite automatic transmission. Luxuries of the era—such as air conditioning, electric windows, and sumptuous wood trim—remind you that this was a car built for jet-set motoring.
With its NZ-new provenance, this Interceptor avoids the rust and restoration headaches often associated with imports. It presents as a true collector’s piece, offering rarity, investment potential, and above all, the chance to experience one of the great V8 GT cars of its time.
