Designed by Carrozzeria Touring, the 1974-1975 Jensen Interceptor Convertible was both elegant and luxurious, with only 467 Convertible models built (mostly for the American market) between the start of production in March 1974 and the end of production in late 1975. Powered by a Chrysler 7212 cc (440 cubic inch) V-8 with a 4-barrel carburetor backed by a TorqueFlite automatic and a Salisbury limited slip differential, the Jensen Interceptor did not lack for power.1975 Jensen Interceptor Convertible Mk III s/n 1736 is an S4 model, the last of the Interceptor convertibles, built in August 1975 and features the very late leather-trimmed dash with a walnut face and center console.
