Hello and welcome to the sale of this absolutely stunning Jensen Interceptor 2. One of the most fascinating attributes of this car is the comprehensive and fully traceable provenance, in the form of a large history file, receipts, invoices and photographs documenting it's life. Originally supplied to Jersey in 1970, this car was brought back to the UK, restored and registered by 'Pure Class' Jensen specialists in 1990. The car has subsequently been in the hands of only three other enthusiast keepers. During the 90s, this car won multiple concourse awards from the Jensen owners club, and featured as an NEC show car. Although this is now an older restoration, the car has been sympathetically and consistently maintained and improved, including recent recommissioning and expenditure in the last couple years by the last owner to the tune of approximately £20,000. The result of this is not only a car that presents in a lovely cosmetic condition, but one that is also mechanically very sound indeed. The recent documented work includes but is not limited to, repairs and maintenance to suspension, steering and electricals, a new air con system, new 17 inch alloy wheels and modern Avon tyres, interior trimming and much more.The car starts 'on the button', the 6.3 V8 burbles deeply and produces excellent power on the road. It gives a surprising turn of speed even by modern standards! Most importantly it steers and rides absolutely beautifully, making driving this car as easy and relaxing as you could wish for from a 52 year old car! The interior is in a lovely clean and complete condition, with no major damage or unacceptable wear. The front seats in particular appear to have been recently re trimmed. All the major controls and features appear to be functioning as intended, and this car gives no inclination that it may require any substantial attention in the near future. The shell and bodywork appears to be in a very sound and solid condition with no apparent corrosion. The paintwork is in excellent overall condition and retains a deep lustre, with a few minor imperfections as one would expect. The brightwork is also very presentable and in no need of attention. To sum up, this car represents an exciting opportunity to own and immediately enjoy a very cool and iconic piece of British motoring heritage, and will be sure to earn much credibility and admiration at this years shows.Note: CSC are pleased to be acting as an agent for the sale of this particular vehicle on behalf of the current owner and vendor.
