1976 Interceptor Coupe for sale - only 20,800 miles!

Post by AbnJensen »

Long time Jensen owner David Rodger is ramping up to sell his beautiful original low mileage LHD Coupe and is putting it out to the Jensen community first, before listing it through other commercial avenues.

I am posting this on his behalf as he would rather take time to baby his car than learn how to start his computer! Apparently old dogs are selective about what tricks they chose to learn! He does however have an email address, that thankfully his lovely wife can handle, so he can be reached at: davidarodger@gmail.com. Also David will be in the UK over the next couple of weeks. If you email him he will provide additional contact info and phone numbers.

The text content below is from David and I have attached some of his pics. He has a lot of them so I will just add in a few here..for further info and pricing, please contact him directly at davidarodger@gmail.com

Ultra rare ‚Coupe‘ … for the hard core Interceptor enthusiast who needs to have all three body styles in his/her collection.
Wondering if this one might ending up in a container to Europe. Even if classic car prices in general appear to be healthier in the US currently, the appreciation for the Interceptor - for whatever reason – seems to be lower than in Europe where prices have gone up substantially within the last 36 months.
This very special Jensen hopefully will find a good home.
