Price chart from Pete was interesting. looks like the Mk1 has premium over MK2/3 and SP. Dont think thats always been the case. What is clear Jensens are not a car for investors th...

Re: Best Version of Interceptor (Saloon) and Why?

Best for sure Late MK1. By then they had ironed out all the Vignale early issues. FF top of the tree. MK1 has the best bumpers. Late MK1 benifited from Mk2 underneath upgrades. MK1 ..

Re: New member advice

Most have said it already. BODYWORK. Fact... It will have rusted. So check very closely how well its been restored... Photos of work carried out and by who. COMPLETE. Make sure everything is there, and ideally numbers match. These cars languished unloved through the 80s and 90s, so many were butcher...

Ethanol dosed in small amounts into LPG sections in oil refinery to take advantage of its hydroscopic properties. Great for water separation and preventing water crystallisation however comes with its own prob...

Re: Mk1 front and rear bumpers complete

Hi Bumpers look decent and suitable for restoring. Im interested as they may be better than ones i currently have. All comes down to cost. How much would you want for them. Interestingly, why did you decide to go for stainless and are you happy with these. If so how much and who supplies these and h...
