The Jensen Interceptor Mk II was the second evolution of the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/jensen/interceptor/2nd-gen/">Second Generation Interceptor</a>. This new iteration of the reborn Interceptor was introduced for the 1970 model year, and featured a range of improvements from the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/jensen/interceptor/2nd-gen/mk-i/">Mk I</a>. The Mk II saw mild updates to the exterior styling, including a new front grill and revised rear taillights. The interior also saw much attention, with improved fit and finish along the addition of optional air conditioning. Initially, the Mk II was fitted with the same 6.3L V8 engine as used in the Mk I, but in 1971, Jensen began fitting a <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/chrysler/">Chrysler</a>-sourced 7.2L V8 unit.

Jensen Interceptor - Mk III

The third and final evolution of the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/jensen/interceptor/2nd-gen/">Second Generation Jensen Interceptor</a> was introduced for the 1972 model year. Known as the Mk III, this updated Interceptor saw subtle updates to the interior and exterior styling, as well as the addition of two new bodystyles alongside the liftback coupe. Both convertible and coupe body styles were offered for the Mk III, but in much fewer numbers (456 convertible, 46 coupe) than the well-established liftback coupe. All Mk III variants were powered by a <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/chrysler/">Chrysler</a>-sourced 7.2L V8 engine running the rear wheels through manual or automatic transmissions. Jensen also released a performance focused version of the Mk III known as the SP, named for its &#39;Six-Pack&#39; V8 engine. This engine&#39;s triple dual-carburetors made it the most powerful car built by the company. Production of the Mk III Interceptor lasted until 1976, with 4,815 total examples built.
