JENSEN INTERCEPTOR MK3. That is in deed.
Hand-made ’twas for the most part. Parts and components too. To
and when required. Back then. Back then in and from the 1950’s.
Interceptors were made at and under the Hands of those. At The
Carters Green and Kelvin Way Factories.
England. Thereof. Therein. They were so made. Even handedly. Back Then.
Originally envisaged to enable Production in Italy of Vignale the Interceptors
Imported had to be rather extensively modded. Modifications
to suit English Conditions and Requirements that soon and enough. Then.
Become rather costly and not to mention Time consuming…
but mentioned THAT i, Shiro just did. AnyWays. Just Then. Back then,
with the Interceptor they became. Then. Thus solely West Bromwich Built. A Full
Leathers Interior with perhaps three
main Phases to it’s ongoing then so onto Development. Mode.
- ♦1966: Interceptor Series Production ensues, powered by The
6276cc Chrysler V8. TorqueFlite Transmission System.
23 were built with Four-speed Manual ’box.
A Model FF was introduced, 4WD and ABS.
- ♦1969: Mk2 released with slightly altered Front End,
improved Interior, uprated Brakes.
- ♦1971: Mk3 release, with The 385bhp 7.2-litre SP.
In the main the Chassis was heavily modded with differing arrangements to suit the
changing Drive Systems utilised. Wheels and such were updated on and at each
Production Release as usually was Front Suspension now mainly
using independent Coil-spring Ball-jointed Wishbones, Damper
Levers telescoped, updated Girling Triple Pistons, Power Steering,
Brakes and Tyres similar updated as well. Well as
