Nicolas (amanico) brings us a detailed look at the 1972 Jensen Interceptor III, a classic British grand tourer powered by a robust American engine. His photographic essay highlights the car's distinctive exterior and surprisingly refined interior, inviting enthusiasts to appreciate its unique blend of Anglo-American automotive engineering. This post serves as an excellent visual guide to a car that continues to captivate collectors.
Used to pass a blue FF every morning in my teenage school days. I’ll never forget that car. 👌🏻
As KM mentions the first non all terrain production all wheel drive.
I drove one in the late 80's from UK to southern Spain - it was a FF MkII renovated and respecked to MkIV by the factory with a 5.9 injection Chrysler block. It barely got into double digit MPG and fuel vapourisation in hot Madrid was a pain, but on the open road was a dream mile eater. AWD permanently on and also ABS based on the Maxaret system. This is the actual car (it is white, albeit the picture veers towards silver).
Indeed, first ABS, too 👌🏻👍🏻 Great to see you back, how’s life?
with seemingly some intake upgrades that's hopefully sorted the vapourisation issues at high temps & low speed traffic
Dip in here now and again - only 1 new watch back in 2019 & sold a few watches since. On a retirement glide path as approach the big six oh my god where did the last 20 years go ;-)
