The Jensen Owners' Club

My Interceptor Mk1 has been returned to me after some work on door and window seals and fan upgrade as well as a repair of some crash damage .

Andy did a great job in a short time at a good price

I decided to replace the rear view mirror courtesy light bulb. Put in a new LED light, reconnected the battery and smoke started pouring out if the mirror. I isolated the battery and no harm was done. I had not realised that the LED festoon bulb was a bit fatter and had shorted out. Silly me! Van No...

It would be interesting to know more about the car. Seems good value for a driver car if the owner isn't bothered by originality, but who does want the structure to be sound

Good article. I am amazed he criticised the dip switch as he used his left foot for braking!

It is a good looking car, has always attracted lots of admiration and conversation and was lovely to be in and nice to drive. I did not expect a "boy racer" car. However, it would have taken a lot of money to get the 440 to be where I would have liked it to be performance wise. Ultimately,...

The Jaguar being half the capacity. Not sure what point you are attempting to make? My Astra GTC is as fast as an Interceptor and gets 50 mpg. But it's not an Interceptor. The point is that I was disappointed in the relative lack of performance compared to the other "GT" type cars I have....

I think you made a good decision if you feel like that about it: are using it less, and it is $$$ sitting there. If you wanted it to perform like an SP you would have needed still more $$$ in it. I enjoyed my first Jensen most, it went really well and I had little tied up in it which really added t...

The last straw was it stalling in traffic jams during the intense summer heat. The car itself was not overheating though. I have several classic cars and was finding myself using it far less than the others, whilst at the same time having the most money tied up in it. I want a car I can use whenever...

It looks like my 3 years of Interceptor ownership is over. A local classic dealer has agreed to buy it. I am sad that I have no regrets, even though I am selling it for a little less than I paid for it. I decided I could not live with its temperamental character.

I had been to see it on Friday and other viewers were due, so looks like one of those made a good offer.

thanks for the update

Ebay says it sold at £20,100. So much for increasing values...
