- Restoration work undertaken in Kuwait
- Range-topping 440 cu in (7.2-litre) V8
- NOW UK registered.
The Appeal
Combining V8 American muscle with Italian styling, the Interceptor was one of the most coveted cars of its era. Released in March 1974, the Interceptor Convertible was aimed at American buyers, identifying that there were few open-top grand tourers available by the early 1970s.
This left-hand drive 1975 example is a recent arrival in the UK having undergone some restoration work in Kuwait. The vendor demonstrates that its hydraulic roof operates correctly and the car presents well throughout. Once UK road registered, this will be a fabulous GT, ready for the fast-approaching summer months.
