Paul Tootill’s Jensen Interceptor SP
This Interceptor SP is a rarity, retaining its three twin-choke carburettors, fitted in an attempt to offset the repeated power losses emissions legislation had forced upon the Chrysler Hemi since the original 6.30litre Series 1. Just 232 SPs were made, with only a handful believed to have been left in original mechanical condition. This car goes further: it’s totally original. Before it was laid up in 1987, it had covered just 54,000 miles, and its last owner had the car until Paul Tootill recovered it in 2013. ‘It’s probably the last fully original SP, and I plan to restore it to concours condition.’
