I too did not meet Han personally albeit we did occasionally e-mail each other concerning articles that I discovered locally. I shall miss his articles on Facebook and as Mike Byrne says, how an earth did he manage to obtain the material that he did? What a great ambassador for the marque.

Re: Int Mk3 S at CCA Auction PMC 190L

Having alerted forum members to the possible problem with this car I felt it only fair to e-mail the auctioneers and share with them the information that I received all those years ago.

Re: Int Mk3 S at CCA Auction PMC 190L

If anyone is seriously interested in this Interceptor I would suggest that they have someone competent check the various chassis number locations on the car ie inner tailgate, rear crossmember, door shells. Also I'd check the chassis tag on the front crossmember, does it look like an original Jensen...

Re: joke thread

I went to the doctor's. He said "You seem to be suffering from hypochondria." "I'm not surprised" I said "I've had everything else."

Re: Mk I Interceptor for sale.

Thanks Grant, well spotted. I feel stupid now. The family approached by Steve Hickey who contacted me as I am local. It would be good if we could get them a quick, uncomplicated sale.
