This 1969 Mk1 has only had four owners and is finished in Burgundy with magnolia hide. It underwent a total restoration costing many thousands of pounds in 1992 by JENCRAFT for one of their Director’s personal use. It includes many bespoke touches, including knock on/off wire wheels, full length sunroof, front spoiler and piped upholstery. The controversial headlamp modification mirrored the design of the Interceptor Series 4 which was at that time still in limited production.

The stunning condition today is a testament of the restoration's workmanship, plus being sparingly used on the road having remained in the Director’s family ownership and stored in a heated garage with a collection of other vehicles until its sale in January 2017.
During that period it has rather "dropped off the radar" but after David Holloway purchased it in the New Year, he remedied that by exhibiting it at the Bristol Classic Car show where it was awarded a 'Highly Commended'.
This actual Interceptor was driven by Cliff Richard in 1994 in a programme called stars in their cars, standing in for Cliff's own Positano Yellow Mk1, which was broken for parts some years ago.
