‘GFM 849N’ is a rather nice Jensen Interceptor III from 1974.

Its first owner was completely on brand being a steel stockholder from the Black Country who bought it from Wilmslow Jensen, the dealer that seems to have sold the bulk of that year’s production.

The seller grew up not far from the Jensen factory, and we suspect his desire to own an Interceptor has been a lifelong affair – and he eventually found this absolute gem.

Rebuilt in the nineties when it was repainted in its current hue, it stayed with the Devon hotelier who commissioned the work until 2022, at which point it moved into our seller’s hands via a classic car dealer.

Mechanically fettled at great expense only recently, the seller is a man who understands the romance of owning a classic and the importance of maintaining a car’s provenance; while he insists his cars are ‘on the button’ mechanically, he loves the hard-won patina they develop.
