Re: My restoration project

Good luck with the restoration you've certainly started off the right way and although it looks like you don't own an interceptor any more it will soon start coming together and you will end up with a car you know is solid.

Re: Pirelli have made some more 235/60WR15

I bought a set of tyres from Blockley tyres recently and IIRC they were £150 plus vat each they were delivered next day from new stock and I think they have a tread pattern more in keeping with the car. It is personal choice regarding changing to 17" wheels but I prefer the older look of 15&quo...

Re: Restoration of 128/4430

Had a good weekend getting lots done although deciding to give Tatton Park show a miss this year to work on the car. I had a trimmer come in and fit my new headlining as I didn't fancy doing it myself, whilst I managed to clean and refit the rear wiring harness and fit sound deadening to the rear se...

Re: Please explain (Jensen CV-8 and 541 sales)

Re: Intermittant wipe kit

I bought one off the shelf from my local Lucas dealership and I will check the price but think it was less than the one on eBay.
