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...

Re: Interceptor MkIII rims on MkII

If it's an early Mk2 with pressed steel upper wishbones then that will be your problem :wink: , the later type upper wishbones that are cast steel have the correct clearance :? ..I bet your Mk3 alloys are scraping on the pressed steel upper wishbones..if so just take a bit off of them with a grinde...

Re: Interceptor restomod YouTube vids

Ive been watching the Retropower videos, interesting to see their take on the bodywork, they were not impressed by the shape and fit of the doors so removed the skins to reshape them. Also they have done huge amounts of work to make the tailgate fit better and they still need to tackle the bonnet. I...

Re: Viperceptor at Historics Auction RUF 340M

Although its not my thing I do like it more as the years go by.

Re: Check your fuel tank inlet hose

Youre right with the MOT Steve, I take my car every year and it also looks good for the online history should you ever come to sell. Its all well and good owners saying they check their cars themselves but how many really do it properly, I have only ever had 1 car on my ramp that didnt need somethin...

Check your fuel tank inlet hose

There is much written about checking your fuel hose and replacing with good quality ethanol resistant pipes but how many people check the fuel inlet pipe from filler cap to tank. I have found the same thing on almost every car Ive looked at recently, many of which are very nice cars that have been m...

Very true Martin but being a convertable lack of available parts would be my biggest worry, there are a few convertibles missing vital parts to be completed.

Re: Wiper Spindle Repair

It is an absolutely horrible job, even with a completely stripped out engine bay it is not a job I enjoy. I have only done 1 in situ and it was the worst side which entailed removing lots of the heater assembly to gain just enough access which was a shame as all the heatshield was in really nice con...

Re: INt SP on Collecting Cars auction site

There are lessons to be learned here from anybody trying to sell any model of Jensen at auction. I find auctions usually better for cars that have problems i.e a rusty body with new shiny paintwork and not for cars that are in good condition, this SP and Zacs old FF have highlighted what can happen ...
