1970 JENSEN INTERCEPTOR II
£79,950





Finished in yellow with black leather interior
55,000 miles from new
Only one recorded lady owner form new


Supplied new by Jensen main agent Newbury Motors Ltd of Halesowen on 22 October 1970. Incredibly this stunning motor car has had only one registered owner since, a local lady who along with her husband completely and utterly cosseted and cherished her.
Since arriving with us we have commissioned a full strip-down and bare metal repaint at our trusted prize winning body-shop due to age related marks and imperfections. When stripped back the body was found to be in remarkable order, just as we expected. We also had some brightwork refinished, again not due to damage but minor age related fading, which we wanted perfected. Needles to say the re-fit included many new parts and new seals were used throughout. The results to this lengthy but sympathetic restoration are simply stunning. We have also given it a thorough mechanical check-over & service and can confirm she drives superbly.
This beautiful example comes complete with original service book, owners handbook, factory build sheets, original toolkit and a file of old MOT’s and invoices. This car offers a unique opportunity and is a very special example indeed of the rare Interceptor 2.

A delightfully original & unrestored early suffix A example which still wears original paint. The subject of a comprehensive feature in the January 2015 edition of Land Rover Monthly magazine, some of the photos of which can be seen here. It is the opinion of both myself and the journalist of the article that a more original and well preserved example would be impossible to find. We have found no evidednce of welding or structural repairs anywhere on the vehicle and the paintwork, most of which appears original, although not perfect has mellowed very nicely with age. The seats have been re trimmed due to the usual cracking of the original palamino vinyl seats, this was done by Nationwide Trim, following the original style very closely. The rest of the interior including the headlining and rubber flooring is original & correct, right down to the original and now almost impossible to source choke lever. In 2002 the vehicle was subject to a very through and sympathetic re commissioning which involved replacing numerous suspension bushes, hoses and rubber componenets along with gaskets, timing chains and a major service. The result of this work is a vehicle that now drives as tight and straight an any example you are likely to fine anywhere. This now represents a unique opportunity to acquire a very special early 2 door Range Rover, the like of which is unlikely to ever be offered again.

1970-1995 RANGE ROVER Classic


Overview

Inventor of the SUV and a classless conveyance, the Range Rover introduced the joys of off-roading to a whole new clienetele. Powered by Rover’s ex-Buick V8 and using similar chassis technology as the Land Rover, its off-road ability was beyond reproach, while the hose-clean interior proved just the ticket for those with an active lifestyle. The styling was so clean that the Range Rover was at home in the politest places. It became more luxurious through the years, but its appeal remained undimmed during a 25-year production run.
