First registered in the spring of 1970 and supplied new to British actor, Robin Ellis, best known for playing the leading role in the original version of the BBC series, Poldark
Purchased for just under £8, 000 or the equivalent of £150, 000 in today’s money, the car was one of just 694 right-hand drive examples
Several enthusiastic owners enjoyed the Jensen over the years and, in 2015, the decision was made to completely restore it, as detailed in the file
Less than a decade later, the car’s restoration has 'bedded in' nicely. The most recent service was carried out in January 2023
The car has been retrofitted with a starter button and a cut-off switch under the armrest
The Interceptor’s early history is supported by a large file containing the factory documentation, older paperwork and historic MOT Certificates
One of the most keenly estimated luxury Grand Tourers on the market, this restored Interceptor with celebrity provenance is worthy of serious attention
