Re: 115/3484 Restoration

Paint going on. No lacquer as yet. Hopefully the body gets its first lick of paint tomorrow…

Re: surviving Mk1s

Hi Steve Here's 115/3366 coming up for auction. I can't see this one on the survivor's website? Thanks to Jason Lawrence for bringing this to my attention, as it also has a mocha interior. https://www.handh.co.uk/auction/lot/lot-1969-jensen-interceptor-mki/?lot=54030&so=0&st=&sto=0&a...

I've found this place in Austria (https://www.rafanno.at/lock-repair/) that specialise in Maserati/Lancia locks and can therefore repair and restore the Torino/SAFE locks from Interceptor doors (and the boot lid ...

Re: 115/3484 Restoration

Prepping the body for paint is well underway, with a particular focus on swage lines (note the difference on the front wings just next to the headlights) and shuts, plus correction of a few small areas where the metal had not been properly prepped before primer was applied. Hopefully paint will go o...

Re: Historic RFL

Hi Richard I did this for 115/3484 about a year ago (and before that for 1640/30071 in 2015). A Post Office can do it, although you're better off going to a larger Post Office where the staff are more likely to have gone through the process on their computer before.

Re: Cam - which to choose

Hi René If you can retrieve the Mopar part number from your existing worn cam it should be fairly easy to find the specs online (for example here http://victorylibrary.com/mopar/mpcam-tech-c.htm#b). Cam selection is a bit of a minefield, especially for mechanical novices like me. So I asked Comp Cam...
