Re: Int convertible R on Carhuna auction site 2340-1047
Peter and Grant, Thanks for the discussion on the Lynx hood - I was also going to ask the same question as to what was different / improved about it - if it sat lower down on the body when lowered I'd be interested, but I could see any side on photos with the hood down to see if that's the case. The...

Re: New member, 75 interceptor convertible
Thanks so much for the photos, especially showing the work to reinstall a new hood. It actually looks like they made a new panel to sit on top of the header rail (amazing how much work that they put into the fitting). You also mentioned that you had an electrician work on the car who was a Lynx expe...

Re: 1974 Interceptor Convertible Restoration Project
Hi everyone, With the top on hold for a while, a discussion with my brother revealed a surprising oversight on my part. When I purchased the car, I was focused on getting the missing (and hard-to-get) convertible parts, and I'd get the remaining parts common to the Interceptor Convertible and Saloon...

Re: Importing car to Australia
Hi, Yup, I imported an Interceptor Convertible back in early 2022 into Adelaide, South Australia from the UK - it's not an easy (or cheap) task, but we got there in the end. Having sourced the car from Andy Brooks, he did some minor works and added in some spare parts ("came with the car squire...

Re: Selling my Interceptor MKII - Phil Fish
Hi Dion, There's a lot more to these S4 door mirrors than I thought - at first, I thought that they were the same as a Jaguar XJS door mirrors (except for the mounting plinth), but I think that there is a subtle difference with the shape, plus the S4 door mirrors had in-built heaters (I think that t...

Re: Selling my Interceptor MKII - Phil Fish
Hi Phil, Lovely looking car, with a lot of work done to it over the years too. And also fitted with a pair of S4 door mirrors too (what I would give to have a pair for my convertible)! Hope that the new owner realises what a well sorted car this is, and you get a well deserved price. Regards, Dino F...

Re: Contacting Nitewing Jensen Interceptor Parts
Hi Rocky,
Thanks for that - your experience matches mine, but I've tried calling every 2nd day for the past week (and left a message each time), and still no reply.
Maybe Leon is on holidays?
Cheers,
Dino

Contacting Nitewing Jensen Interceptor Parts
Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone has had any success contacting Nitewing Jensen Interceptor Parts in the US west coast (LA I think). I've tried to call Leon several times over the past week and the phone just keeps going to message bank. Does anyone know whether he's okay, or when he'll be bac...

Re: 1974 Interceptor Convertible Restoration Project
Hi everyone, Thanks for the photos Julian of the rear hinge area (I can hear my upholsterer groaning now...). Over the past few months, I have been contemplating a colour change for the car - do I keep it Blue, or do I respray the car in a British Racing Green type colour? And if I was going to purc...

Re: Int convertible project at Appleyards
Hi Peter, Excellent points that you raise regarding the availability of Interceptor Convertible parts. One BIG note of appreciation goes out to Martin Robey who have listed the Interceptor Convertible as a variant on their website, and they show the part diagrams and availability for the convertible...

Re: Wiper Spindle Repair
Tony, Yeech - that looks well rounded, doesn't it. The good news is that you mentioned that it is a soft alloy - I'd be inclined to try and hit it with a small triangular file and to sharpen some of the splines (especially nearer the top of the shaft so that you make a slight taper, then clean it al...

Re: 1974 Interceptor Convertible Restoration Project
Peter, Grant and Julian,
Thanks so much guys, keep the great information coming (it seems that there are so many little details on the convertible that just aren't documented anywhere).
Much appreciated,
Dino

Re: 1974 Interceptor Convertible Restoration Project
Hi everyone, I suspected that MR had these stainless trim pieces for sale, but I didn't see a diagram for them, so thank you for confirming the part numbers. The small leather piece / strip is interesting, and I suspected that there was a tiny bit of clearance that would have held down some trim wor...
