The car has undergone an extensive restoration costing over £83,000, bringing it to an exceptionally high standard. While described as 'beautifully sorted' and presenting 'superbly', the initial condition was 'barn find', implying it required significant work. Given the recent comprehensive rebuild and lack of mention of any current flaws, it's near-perfect but not explicitly stated as pristine.

The Interceptor's distinctive touring-styled bodywork, expansive glasshouse and effortless long-distance touring ability have secured its status as one of the defining British GT cars of the period.

Combining hand-built British craftsmanship, Italian styling and effortless American V8 performance, the Interceptor remains one of the most charismatic grand tourers of its era.

The Interceptor III, introduced in 1971, had a revised front grille, headlamp finishers and bumper treatment and was fitted as standard with improved seats, air conditioning and handsome 15×6½-inch GKN alloy wheels.
