1973 Jensen Interceptor MK III review from UK and Ireland
"What a sound from those twin tail pipes"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The electrics in the engine bay area have suffered from the intense engine heat and are therefore problematic.
The CarterThemoquad carburetor can be very tricky and is prone to primary chamber flooding. This car will overheat if the radiator is not maintained well!
General comments?
This car is very fast and very loud.
The interior is superbly finished in leather everything and all the mod cons, some of which you don't even get on modern cars. It also seats 4 adults, all be it with very little leg room in the rear. The view out of the massive rear view mirror is stunning - no pillars to restrict your view.
