Re: Interceptor MKIII - 129/5640 - Complete restoration
The headrests are difficult to remove. I have never been able to get mine out. I have heard stories of people holding the seats by the headrest and using the weight of the seat (with a swift, sure pull) to overcome the "lock mechanism" in the headrest slider. I have been unsuccessful in at...

Re: Interceptor MKIII - 129/5640 - Complete restoration
This might be a longshot, but can you get a pulley remover that expands outwards, and tried to get a good grip on the inside of that piston? My guess is that if you can get it to rotate, it will help free up the piston for extraction. I’m certain there are others people with long experience that hav...

Re: Interceptor MKIII - 129/5640 - Complete restoration
As a helpful suggestion…. WD-40 is not a great penetratating lubricant (but it’s a lot better than nothing)…. A inexpensive options is a 50/50 mix of acetone and ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid). I’m sure your local auto parts store will also sell other options (Liquid Wrench, Break-Free, etc.). A...

What are those parts on the rack in the last picture behind the dashboard?
Looks like you use a lot of them!

Re: Apparently an SP
Perhaps easier (and cheaper) to remove a vinyl roof during a repaint than installing an aftermarket six-pack… but all options are in play!
It would be good to know what it really is!

Re: Best Version of Interceptor (Saloon) and Why?
Tony… Great rationale, especially #2! And that’s the kind of input needed in this thread… “The Why?” For the prospective buyers, to whom the (Jensen) world is their oyster…. And can pick any flavor they like…. This is the kind of info they need!!! In my case, I made a spreadsheet of all the cars tha...

Re: Best Version of Interceptor (Saloon) and Why?
A couple of things that strike me: MK1…. I do like the bumper overriders best.. the cool pointy ones! Mk11…. It seems like the interior is plainer than some of the Mk111’s…. I can’t say with certainty, but I thought the center console was mostly black plastic. Mk111… As mentioned, at least some of t...

Best Version of Interceptor (Saloon) and Why?
There have been some discussion slightly about the best version of the Interceptor. I only have my Mk111 and (a similar one) to judge…. I was told that the Mk111s have the best parts availability…. Plus one would assume that the majority of issues identified with the cars would have been worked out ...

Re: New member advice
Buy the best, and most complete car you can…. You will nae get a bargain by buying a “project”….
Each small part that is missing will cost £75…. that adds up quickly…
You want to drive the Gentleman’s Express … not assemble one!
