Description
In the care of the seller for the past 37 years, ‘TTG 685M’ is 1973 Jensen Interceptor that’s hasn’t seen rain since 1987.
Yup, that’s right; the seller hasn’t ever taken it out in anything other than good weather.
He’s looked after it too, investing the right money with the right people: Restored in 1992 at a cost of £20,331 by renowned marque specialist Jencraft, or the equivalent of almost £44,000 today, Kestrel Classic Cars has also worked on it extensively since 2015 onwards.
Stunning to look at and just as nice to drive, this Interceptor is a life-affirming example of what a classic car relationship looks like when you spend more than half of your life with the car of your dreams.
Originally finished in Royal Blue, the 1992 restoration saw a change of colour to Calypso Red, a BMW colour.
Well-maintained over the years, Kestrel Classics tidied the bodywork up a little in 2023, investing 22 hours – and some underbody wax – to bring it back up to the standard the seller demands...
