Had to dig out my Facit DTC, a rebadged Luxor ABC800 from 1981, renowned for their fast semi-compiled Basic. Clocked in at 166 seconds, not bad for a Z80@3MHz.

It's actually run on the original ROM Basic.
Programs can be listed and each line is handled as an entity both on entry and execution so in that sense interpreted. But each line is heavily optimized before storing it in memory and all jumps are resolved into memory addresses as you type run.
