1973 Jensen Interceptor MK 3 J series review from Australia and New Zealand
"A timeless classic sports tourer"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Automatic transmission is currently being rebuilt.
The wiring for the lights was faulty, but has now been replaced.
Some trim has been replaced.
General comments?
The car handles surprisingly well for a 31 year old car, it drives better than some cars built in the last 5 years.
The engine sounds great and interior is quite plush for an inexpensive luxury vehicle in todays market.
I'm having a great time with the car for the short period I have owned it.
Certainly get plenty of looks in the car.
