Re: What did you do with your car today/weekend?
I polished a very nasty looking scratch off the top of the passenger door today, I wasnt sure if it would polish out but in the end didnt take long.

Re: International Weekend 2024
I would expect that 90% of the cars will have either a Chrysler or Lotus engine and if anyone gets stuck another member may have a part to help them out. One thing I carry is a spare radiator cap as its surprising how often you can remove one to check the water level and it refuses to seal again whe...

Re: Parts Quality
Its a big problem, recently I have had a new starter solenoid last 200 miles, a bonnet release cable handle snap after a couple of weeks and yesterday I washed my car to find rust on the door mirrors I replaced at the end of last year. There is no other rust on any other chrome but the nuts at the b...

Had lunch at our local pub today and found this parked next to me when I came out.

Re: MOT if driving in Europe
I adjust my handbrake just before the MOT every year and he usually remarks its not very good although still passes but thats the best it is all year.

Re: MOT if driving in Europe
A good question Steve, I get an MOT every year as its a very cheap safety check and even with full workshop facilities I cannot test the suspension under duress to the same degree the MOT station can with their shaker plates. For anybody in the UK the journey to the International this year will be a...

Re: Chrome Bumper Companies in Devon
Chroming seems to have jumped massively in price over the last couple of years, but then again hasnt everything. Local to you is SMB who I would strongly advise you avoid, they may be cheap but lack any quality control. I now always use Derby Plating who are probably the most expensive but I have ne...

Re: New member, 75 interceptor convertible
A beautiful car and one that seems to be getting the care and attention it needs.
Im sure having driven it you will know what an excellent and vastly undervalued grand tourer these cars are.

Re: Understanding the 1972 Models
Both the 383 & 440 engines can be built from standard to extreme with or without a six pack.
There are many parts available for these engines.

Re: Apparently an SP
That is not an SP. It has bumper fillers and the J emblem in the back. It is a newer car. :) I have seen many cars with the J badges added especially G series cars. I think badges were a big thing in the 70s, so many owners may have added them. It was and still is a thing to make your car look like...

Re: Anyone know this car
I always like to see the oily bits as many cars have shiny paintwork, but money is often neglected in the engine bay. As soon as I see an old compressor and a/c pipework I think a bill of over £2K will be coming, the £1200 Peter mentioned will buy a Fenair system but then it still needs to be fitted...

Re: Best Version of Interceptor (Saloon) and Why?
A good topic for discussion Rocky, and Im sure there will be many differing opinions but for looks alone the MK1 wins hands down in my book. Not just for the dash as you mentioned which although a bit fussy with the switches if you are not used to them it exudes 60s class and is only bettered by a F...

Re: New member advice
Be prepared to travel to find the right car and walk away if you are not sure no matter how much time you have wasted as buying the wrong car can be a very costly mistake. Although some nice cars go through auction a lot of money pits also end up there and if you decide to go this route I would alwa...
